Do you honestly think that Harry Potter has anything to do with School Violence today? what about the school shooting that are going on right now? I heard someone try to blame that on Harry Potter. Give me a break.. There aren't any guns in Harry Potter.. so where do they come up with this stuff? what do you think? Is there something that I am missing?

Harry Potter doesn't support violence in anyway. It's more about love and friendship being the greatest of all power. I can't see why people are trying to blame the novels. I think they're looking for a scapegoat again.

Thank you for your comment. I agree so much with you. People want to blame violence on anything that they can get their hands on.. and Harry Potter is far from it. I just dont understand where these people come up with these things.

I agree with you.. I dont understand how so many people think that it would.. but there are those out there who believe that Harry Potter is the source for violence.. theyve got to be kidding me... Blah. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Seems like I've read another book. The Harry Potter series I've read does not promote violence in any way. I can understand why people blame ego-shooters or perhaps even films like The Matrix, because there the heroes actually kill their adversaries - but in Harry Potter the good side never harms anybody if it can be helped. Harry does even save Wormtail once, though he could have avenged his parents deaths.
