Banned Books Week!.

This week is the American Library Association's (ALA) Banned Books Week!.

Banned Books Week (BBW) celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express ones opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.

This week ALA released a top ten list of the most challenged books of the 21th century.... harry potter is one top of that list.

Is it because of wizards and witches? 😐

Its because people cant tell the difference between a fictional book and real life. I'm a christian and I love the HP series, its just ppl who are whining about the sorcery in them.

Another reason why I'm not a fan of religion. 😐

not only is it one of the top ten, but the pope's advisors have given speeches about how hp is a way of "seducing young men and women to satan" biggest load of crap i've ever heard.

Not everyone who follows the religion is against HP.... just the extremists who don't know the difference between a fictional character and Hitler.

I know what you mean. I am a Christian and I can't see why people react so harshly to something that is fiction 🙁

I know, like I said, Im a christian too, and I love the HP books. People just need to learn how to seperate fiction from real life and leave people like us who like to read the heck alone.

Warning:Reading harry potter books may cause some kids to become witches and wizards and use evil spells to control there parents!Read with caution!jm
