I have enjoyed reading this book and watching the movies. I think that the book should be available for children, so they can have the opportunity to read the books if they want to. I probably would not use the books as a reading assignment but will have them in my classroom for the children to read. I feel that this book has many good aspects for children to use their imagination.
I think this book has many issues faced beside just the use of the witchcraft and wizardry. It deals with loss of parents, friendship, bullying, and the love for others. So I think that this book can let any type of child can connect with a character from the book.

I agree. This is more than just fantasy. It's a life.... and not much more different than other people's lives. Children deal with things like those examples you talk about in your blog on a fairly regular basis. I think it would help them open up their imagination but also show them that there are other characters (fiction or real-life) that go through somewhat similar things in life that they can relate to.
