WOW ... I never even made  that correlation, and it's an excellent one!  So 
many kids read and  love HP that this is an terrific way to drive an 
important 
point home.   I'm going to share it with my childs school librarian, as she 
reads 
to all  class levels once a week during the school year, and I know she can  
integrate this into her "Harry Potter" week.   Thanks!

I'm glad that you liked it enough to share it. When I introduce the topic,  
the students are fascinated and it can lead to excellent discussions among 
them.  Deciding who to trust online, what is safe to reveal, etc, can be 
challenging  topics and it is great to see the students thinking and figuring it out 
for  themselves.
