"I got interested during that time but there was also an incident that was
worrisome. My sister and her friend were suddenly making odd combinations of
things. Then we found that she'd not been taking her allergy medicine but had
been opening the capsules, using the powder.  Next we discover a sheet of
paper with "Hate Spells " on it.  OK maybe this is play, but it was not good
play. It resulted in many family discussions of right, wrong, religious
issues, character and value issues. Actually magic wasn't an issue. They
weren't things that hadn't been discussed before, but believe me, it was in
depth then."

And this is exactly why the books are good IMHO, the ideas would have still 
been there for your sister and her friend - they don't come out of nowhere - 
but the books allowed the kids to give expression to them and your family a 
opportunity to work though the issues. Maybe your family might have found some 
other way to talk about these issues - or maybe you never would have.
