> Witches Upset by Broomstick Style

This is as ridiculous as SOME (very few in my experience) Christians being
upset because of the magic in the series.  Its a children's book.  Period.
It has fanciful creatures, daring deeds, and exaggerated characters.  Its
creative, fun to read, exciting, cryptic, and wonderful.

In short, a great story.  One that I have read probably 10 times already,
and will read to my children over and over again.

Interesting that this person chose to focus on broomstick travel.  So am I
to assume by omission that all spells really are just Latin rehashed?  And
that wands are an integral part of his magic ceremonies?

Some people just don't get it, pure and simple.

Matt, Ravenclaw.
