Apparently, Harry Potter promotes alcohol...

<p>I thought it was an interesting take...</p>

<p>Are they serious?..I’m damn glad my parents aren’t like these people…</p>

<p>LOL @ Conservatives</p>

<p>Lmao. My mum grew up in England (on top of a pub no less) and we went and say Harry Potter together. She was laughing because some of the scenes took her back to her childhood. </p>

<p>This is ridiculous. People wonder why kids are so irresponsible with alcohol here in America, it’s because there are parents out there like that who make alcohol seem like the devil. (No, I don’t drink).</p>

<p>Some people can make (or at least try to make) a controversy out of anything. This is hilariously absurd.</p>

<p>^^ Yes. We should also be riding brooms to play sports instead of running like ordinary people.</p>

<p>Lol, people just take things too far.</p>

<p>^^^ Wait, I’m not suppose to casting Latin based incantations at people? Uhg, three years of Latin for naught?</p>

<p>The mother that wrote the article is plain stupid.</p>

<p>I love Harry Potter.</p>

<p>Ivy, and it’s mothers like that that have kids that go to college and bomb because they party too much.</p>

<p>Also, HP is not based in America, it is based in England. I went to England when I was 14 and was able to order beer in a pub no problem. Nobody thought anything of it and my cousins all live in England and have open access to alcohol. They look at Americans and call us stupid for getting wasted like we do. A beer or two is enough for them, anything more is stupid.</p>

<p>Harry Potter also promotes witchcraft and devil worship, if you didn’t know.</p>

<p>Whatever Harry Potter promotes it is still the shizzz. :)</p>

<p>

<p>This reminded me of when I was in middle school (Christian middle school, of course.) and we had to do those current event reports, I did mine on the first Harry Potter, which had just been released in theaters.
I turned it in and three days later get it back with a huge ‘F’ scrawled on it and a stick-it note that said “never bring this devil worship trash to me again.”</p>

<p>I wonder what happened to Miss “Minister” Plummer…</p>

<p>^IT’S SATAN!!! Witches and Warlocks, Gargoyles, psychics, tarot card readins. I REBUKE IT IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!</p>

<p>Haha, I hated that school. They pretty much trained their students to go to Pensacola, which is probably the only more crazier place than that school was.</p>

<p>Random tidbit, I always got written up because my skirt was too short.</p>

<p>^^ I still do. (in reference to your skirt.)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you actually believe that binge drinking and alcoholism are not problems in the UK? Because they definitely are.</p>

<p>Are they serious? Sometimes I wish I lived in Europe where no one cares about such trivial stuff.</p>

<p>i hate people that get uptight about these things. alcohol is not the devil.</p>

<p>^ No, but Harry Potter is. I’ve already established that.</p>
