I , too, was concerned about the news articles about the Harry Potter books. I totally agree with Michelle Allan's assessment of these delightful books (Deseret News Readers' Forum, Nov. 3, 1999). I think some of the reasons children and adults like them so much is their imaginative, unpredictable plots and relationship to issues and events in children's lives in a creative context.

With so much undesirable entertainment on TV and in movies, it is puzzling to me why people choose to attack children's books.Thank you also for the recent editorial cartoon on Harry Potter books.
