They shouldnt ban the books because kids might think the withchcraft is real. No one would believe that. That sounds crazy if if someone would believe that. And I really don't think anyone could find it offensive no matter what your religon because it's all fiction. And it did make kids want to read again so I think it is good. Jon rules.I also think it's crazy that people are getting worried because of Harry's interst in girls. What do they expect. It makes a good book and it adds to the story so it's actully a good thing.People shouldn't worry so much about stupid stuff like that. It wasn't a big deal until they started worrying. There just pointing out the problems which make the book look bad. There really arn't a lot of curse words in the book. And, the ones that are in the book arn't that bad. There is no way anybody is going to be offended by that or think it is bad or should be banned. If you compare other books there are so many of the same so called bad qualities in Harry Potter and any other book. A few examples could be Speak, Go ask Alice, the outsiders, the machine gunners, etc. All of those books have not been baned. Why should the Harry potter books be. So, as you can see this is why I think the Harry Potter books should not be banned for any reason.
