Witch on trial

She thinks it's Harry Potter, but really, the witch is the one in the photo. A character is influencing the youth to practice witchcraft. I guess what she doesn't seem to see is that media is no substitute for parents -- ie: don't let books, magazines, movies or television adopt a higher influence on your children than you, the parent. I guess that message would be lost on this flake.

It's been tried before and will be tried again. "Hey, look! It's evil! Let mob it and condemn it without thinking or aksing questions!" So, Harry Potter, a character has more influence on the children than parents and is trying to get others to learn and practice magic through the use of spells with wands. I guess that mother never read the books -- in that the spells; limited in description and variety in the books, also requires a unique-to-user wand, as well as the inate ability to do so, rather than having magicless personage.

I think the dunce cap would make her look better in the photo, only hinting at her own witchy (bitchy) ways.

Those Harry Potter books sucked. I saw the cover so I can say I "read" them. The movies were infinitely better because they were at least not on an obsolete medium like paper which provides slow consumption for the slow witted who are overloaded and freaked out by anything that runs 30 frames a second, hell, even 2 frames a second. The fucking tree huggers get dizzy if they turn the page too fast. But, even in the higher cognitive bandwidth medium of movies, they were all terrible, horrible, complete garbage. All those books should be burned.
