    If they want to sure. I think any attempt to force kids into a box is doomed to fail, so what you gotta do is gently push them to be critical of their environment - in this case you could talk with them about HP and ask leading questions to direct their attention to some of the problems with the books, like how "good" characters act like huge bullies in several parts of them because Rowling decided that some people are acceptable targets.

      In no way would I let any child read the Bible or mein kampf. Children shouldn’t be exposed to some things.

        Have you read the Bible? Reading it would more likely push someone away from catholicism than convert

        That’ll backfire. Making things taboo is a GREAT way to get children super interested in them
