now, HP.. frankly it is quite dangerous on several grounds...
in regards to the occult... some of it is 'close enough for Govt work'
not a lot but some.
it's real danger is in being one more.. ya know.. many many things are
pointing our kids towards accepting witchcraft.. this is just one more.
If your kids are impressionable at all.. then the later books should
definitely be off limits.... way to dark and graphic...
Of course there is always the ever so real possibility.. that our children
will mistake these works for well-written peices of literature
Thusly striving to emulate it in their writings instead of doing greater
works that might stand the test of time...
