Hello everyone. I've come to express my feelings on that newspaper
article, about banning Harry Potter. I see you've already talked about
that some, and I would like it very much if you read my input.

	I think that the whole thing, about kids leaving their school room
	just because his/her teacher is reading the book to the class is
	just, sad. I mean, the reason some one writes a book is because
	they have a story, that they want to share, because that story
	makes them sad, or happy, or whatever, and they also want to
	look in a bookstore, and see their work, and think "Wow. I wrote
	that. That's mine, I finally sent that message, out to the world,
	to let them know that I can do something too. I'm part of this
	world, and I had a story to tell, and I told it, and it worked."
 J. K. Rowling has worked hard, to share her feelings, her story, with
 the world, and they think that what her message is, how she thinks,
 they think that's some thing that children should not read. It's
 something that they say 'is work of the devil'. But yet, all it is, is
 words. And words are very powerful things. But words are not to hurt,
 they are to tell, to express. And I think, that all the article is, is
 words, and what people think, and nothing else. So, should we not let
 her share her feelings with the world? That, my friends, is just cruel,
 and I refuse to take place in it, if that is what comes up.
