Harry Potter is a series of novels by J.K. Rowling. The main character is an young wizard named Harry Potter. The series is about the adventures he has while he is a student at Hogwarts. The series has developed an almost cult-like following. There are several movies based on the books. Most library patrons would want to read the books because of their love of the movies, or if they have visited the attraction at Disney World.
The controversial topic in the book is mostly sorcery. Some parents do not agree with their children reading about sorcery. I feel that if parents have that strong a belief about their child not reading the book, they must express their thoughts to their child. It is the child's responsibility to choose what he borrows from the library. Most non-serious readers will not attempt to conquer the books anyway because of the length. I feel that if the student is able to read books of that length and reading level, he is mature enough to weigh the consequences of his parents' wishes.
