Joining this debate a little late, but getting back to Harry and JKR -
the wizarding world obviously feel there is a need for certain
literature to be restricted - I want to know who decides on the
content of the restricted section in the Hogwarts Library? Would it
just be Dumbledore, all the teachers or the Governors? Surely
someone like Lucius Malfoy would want his children to learn about the
dark arts as part of a full education.
Just my 2p (and sorry if its been said before)
