Harry Potter isn’t just another kids book. It parallels reality: the government which chooses to address less serious concerns rather than face the real threats, the child soldiers, the war victims. The existence of magic doesn’t make that reality less real. Fictional or not, people can leave scars that last a life time; words are like curses, they can either help or hurt.
