Seriously!? Twilight was way worse for kids to read, in my opinion. The female lead was weak and led by her obsession with her boyfriend. Nothing else in her life mattered. Not even her own life, come to find out in the next book. You really can't guess how people will act, you are right about that!Julie Petitbon wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 11:48 I am a Potterhead of the house Hufflepuff. I've read the series at least a dozen times, my children have read it, and I even taught The Sorcerer's Stone to one of my classes. Surprisingly, I did have one student whose parents would not let him read the book. They insisted that it went against their religious beliefs. However, they were perfectly okay when their child chose to read Twilight. Can't figure some people out...

I agree, I think that this is a very positive solution. This could help with numerous possible issues that could pop up.lbuckman wrote: ↑20 Jan 2014, 18:50 I think that if the child is interested in reading the Harry Potter books and the parent doesn't feel the child is ready for the books, then they should read them together. The books are very well written and allow for much discussion, so it is a great way for a parent to monitor their child's reactions and to see if they are ready for all of the books.

Definitely! After all, the books are all about love being the greater power. I also read this when I was very young.dorebri2020 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2019, 15:10 Harry Potter is harmless. The child should be allowed to choose when they are ready, as I remember reading it in elementary school. Also, the books are well written and possess many life lessons.

Hello, fellow Hufflepuff! But seriously? That's very surprising that they wouldn't allow their child to read Harry Potter but they will let them read Twilight.Julie Petitbon wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 11:48 I am a Potterhead of the house Hufflepuff.

Personally, I see no issue with letting children read Harry Potter whatsoever, and I definitely read more questionable books than that when I was young even with my parents' protectiveness.
