Yes, the books are entirely different in terms of sparking imagination. If an adult like me couldn’t pick up on those things, a 6 year old would be too busy learning the vocabulary.
Teggy, that is an excellent perspective but considering that my daughter also watches magic shows, she’s should be alright as long as we communicate the real from the imaginary with her.
If a book was about same sex parents (and there are such books) I’d be worried. But a book like Harry Potter can only trigger a child’s (heck, even an adult’s) mind toward magic and some morality lessons. There are no homosexual messages trust me.
Mehnaz, we’ve been reading to our kids since they were a few months old.
