 If you know the reference to that quote you might just have read Harry Potter or heard of his works sometime in your life. This article was the best one that I have read. Being in my early twenties  I have not read the Harry Potter series but have seen all the movies. I grew up in the 90's ,so we had discussion about these books in class and when it came time for a fun day in the classroom at the end of the school year we were allowed to watch the movies only if your parents signed a strip of paper stating that you were allowed to watch the movie because  they had witchcraft and sorcery. The article mentions that Christian groups had seen a problem with the books, myself being a Christian did not see anything wrong in the first movie but as Harry and his friend's grow up and he evolves into an adult he does become much deeper into his teaching. My point-of-view is that I compared and contrasted how the movie was turning out to be. I was in elementary starting middle school when the books came out and the characters in the movie were also around the same age so it was almost as if one could relate to Harry and his friends. The books teach us how to have diverse friends and how we get along with people that are different from one another. Another way to think about the books and movies was it was between good and evil, but during those times it was about growing up, relationships, and friendships happened or dispersed. A group of children in the article was split up and they had to read the book and then compare how they felt and in the end of the research found that the children had a different view about culture and diversity with other people.
