The Harry Potter-series simply isn’t about sex or sexual orientation in general. That’s not the topic! So why do people expect reading about it?! The books are, plainly speaking, about the fight of evil and good. About friendship and, as I said before, to stand up for what’s right, for your friends, your believes, to do what you’re able to, to stand by the ones you love…
Not aboutany sexual orientation at all. Period.
And you know what?
I’m still convinced that these books are able to teach children so many good values, they give them hope, they encourage them to do and be so many other things. Sexual orientation isn’t one of them, that’s true. But there are other good books about that topic which children and teens should read as well, bc it’s important as well. It just doesn’t fit the Harry Potter-series.
So please stop playing down everything these books stand for and what kids can learn from these books just because there’s a topic that’s not discussed here. So isn’t climate change. And nuclear power. And atomic weapons. And food-shortage. See what I’m getting at?
Just needed to get this off my chest…you’re welcome to comment or unfollow me or whatever you want. This is my opinion.
