For Parents.
Now that Harry Potter has become a "classic," firmly established in thousands of homes and schools, in libraries and universities; now that the public, weary after fifteen years of controversy, has returned to the fiction as if nothing ever happened — it is precisely now that it has become the most dangerous.
If Harry's mission ends in Book 7 (2007), his real mission in the world begins after Book 7. To claim that he is "finished" simply because other stars are rising in the cultural firmament is to give in to illusion as much as to fashion — and to allow the wizards to recruit undisturbed.
How can I speak to you about sex without offending your modesty? I truly do not know. But informing you seems far more necessary than sparing your sensibilities. "(It will be) a bit brutal, but you must know," as it is said in Book 4 of Harry Potter (4-198).
It must be shown to you, for Mrs. Rowling and her impresarios were hardly naïve enough to display "such things" openly on the surface of the text. Words must be broken apart and dissected in order to extract each and every lurid allusion. This is a complex study that cannot truly be conducted in veiled language, for that would render it completely obscure. You would risk understanding nothing at all and wondering what on earth I am trying to say.
How can one denounce "this" without using the words to name it?
