Why Everyone Should Read Harry Potter
September 9, 2014
Harry Potter is the best selling book series of all time.
But it’s had its reproaches. Various Christian groups
claimed the books promoted paganism and witchcraft to
children. Washington Post book critic Ron Charles
called the fact that adults were also hooked on Potter a
"bad case of cultural infantilism.” Charles and others
also cited a certain artistic banality in massively
commercial story-telling, while others criticized
Hogwarts, the wizardry academy attended by Potter, for
only rewarding innate talents.
The Anglo-American writer Christopher Hitchens, on
the other hand, praised J. K. Rowling for freeing English
children’s literature from dreams of riches and class and
snobbery and giving us a world of youthful democracy
and diversity. A growing body of evidence suggests that
reading Rowling’s work, at least as a youth, might be a
good thing.
