The question and statement really don't relate to each other... Harry Potter is about magic. Only once is a vampire ever mentioned in Harry Potter and anyway it's a story! Why should you not read it?

Side: yes

I guess reading Harry Potter is okay if you are skeptical of it. But vampires? No way!!!

Side: yes

The Harry Potter books are harmless. There is nothing wrong with getting kids to read.

Vampires are creepy!

I especially hate people who say reading about vampires is okay but people who think they are vampires are wrong. I mean the people who write vampire books are getting their ideas from these people who think they themselves are vampires.

Now that is just creepy that there are people in the world who they are vampires! (shivers because she is thinking of creepy things)

Side: VAMPIRES ARE CREEPY

Who care what the Bible says. People should have unequivocally read what they choose. If it is crime, mystery, vampire, then so be it.

Side: No

Many Christians care what the Bible says, just as Muslims care what the Qu'ran says and Nova Romans care about Ovid and what he said. If you have no religious ties, then an argument attempting to convince you of something is completely pointless if the opposition's only source is the Bible.

Ok I mistyped on who cares about what the Bible says because I did say people can read what they please, so if it happens to be the bible rather than Harry Potter, ok great, but reading Harry Potter and the Bible are completely separate because Harry Potter is fiction, this is a fact. It is for recreation purposes. If people want not to read Harry Potter because the Bible says contrary then great, but it shouldn't be universal for everyone.

Side: yes

Why would anybody want to learn about sorcery from Harry Potter when they are just as capable of reading a classic like Lord of the Rings?

Side: No

people can read whatever they want

no one might want to learn sorcery from it but it does show how one can turn into a more powerful and lucky person by using just a wand

and reading lord of the rings is such a waste of time even the movie couldn't make it look good why do u expect people to read the book it's so madly drags n drags n drags.........

have you even read it

harry potter is far better than that

it' not ever so romantic

it's all about action and sorcery is not that bad
