I posted this to Gary yesterday, and I thought I'd bring it to the whole
group. My one beef with the Harry Potter books is that sometimes Harry breaks
the "rules" (e.g., performing magic in front of Muggles; for the uninitiated,
Muggles are people who can't do magic) but doesn't have any consequences for
his behavior because Harry's "special."
For those of you who are parents and have children who have read the Harry
Potter books, do you think that Harry's exemption from the rules is a problem?
