I never said that it was harmless. Everything has the potential to be harmful. Personally, I believe that Law and Order is much worse than any Harry Potter is. I did say that it is stupid for parents to bring kids to it because that could possibly be completely scarring and could easily warp their mind. Also, someone could argue that the Chronicles of Narnia support witchcraft as well because of the evil lady and she used sorcery to do things, but we all know that that is not what Narnia is about. Of course, it does not perfectly translate into the argument about Harry Potter, but it has a bit of a connection. I would just say to know what you're getting into when you watch it. I think we go two ways when we talk about the media. We give it too much power, or we give it too little power. We say that it is extremely harmful and noone should watch much of anything that is questionable because it will scar you, or we say to watch whatever you want because nothing can harm you in the media. I think we need to realize that neither of those are accurate. Discretion is needed, but it does not need to be taken to a huge extreme By the way, I think Harry Potter is boring and stupid, but I like to argue for everything.
