Question for parents

[can can]

Though I'm not a parent...yet, I wouldn't worry about the violence in the books or movies.  It's up to the parent to help a child understand what they are reading/watching and how that can and cannot translate in their reality, in my opinion.  For example, there could be some preditor(or) out there willing to hurt children (Voldejerk) but as for a big snake in the basement, "not bloody likely" to quote Ron.lol  Thats just one example of course.
   
  As for the movies/books.  I've always loved that JKR said she never intended the books to be for children since the beginnng.  I also love Dan's explaination about the violence and storylines saying that kids have grown up with up the stories/movies as the characters have in the books so they should have a better understanding of Harry's world, and should be ready for it.


peace...real love...

Candace
