Arthur and Harry Potter

[milz]

No: HPFGUIDX 1897

I think that episode was a directly indirect reference to the Goose 
Bumps" book series. But it applies to Harry Potter, Huckleberry Finn 
and other such *controversial* books.

The children were enthused about reading, something that many of the 
parents found amazing (again, like HP!).  A few parents got together, 
though, and created an Anti-"Scare Your Pants off book" group called 
PAWS (Parents against Weird Stories), and had the books banned from 
the library.  The episode went on to explain why the books were a 
good thing, and the lead parent in the group hadn't even read the 
series, so the author, who was revealed, read him one of the book.  
The basic "moral" of the show was don't condemn something you haven't 
read.  I wonder if we could make this show required reading for the 
HP banners?
