The Harry Potter is a fictional character in a fantasy series written by J.K. Rowling. He parents were killed by an evil wizard when he was one. At first he did not know he was a wizard and lives with his mean relatives. Around his 11th birthday, Harry leaves and attends Howarts School of Magic and Wizardry. He makes many friends including Hermione and Ron and a few enemies. Harry also learns how Lord Voldemort killed his parents and tried to kill him and also left him with a lighting bolt scar on his forehead. Voldemort tries to steal the Philosopher's stone, bu Harry saves the day.
I agree that Harry Pottery should be read in school. I would definitely have it as part of my instruction because it is a very well written fantasy series, and children love it. Having Harry Potter in my class would represent any usual problem. Someone always wants to start a problem, like the guy who tried to sue the government over saying "under God" in the pledge of allegiance. Having the children interested in reading is just one of the many pluses with the book.
Censorship can be a good thing, especially in a subject is too mature, but it usually is not. Many people try to get things banned for attention or fanatical reasons. Why would anyone want to stop a child from reading something they could understand ad makes them happy?

I strongly agree with this post but I do feel like it should be read in schools. This book shows so much creativity and kids become hooked the minute they read these books. I agree with the point that people are always wanting to start a problem. Everyone does not always agree on everything that is said or published.
