I echo Father Perkins thoughts. Two years ago, after the initial Harry Potter fad, I was having a conference with one of my second graders and his mother. He was a big Potter fan. During the conference , he showed a notebook in which he told me he wrote down his "spells" in order to remember them. I asked him if he was a witch and he said "no". I think this Potter phenomena is an inducement to something much more dark. Kenneth+
