Ray Bradbury says, "You don't have to burn books to destroy culture. Just get people to stop reading them" The book Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone is banned because many people do not believe in witchcraft. I think that it is your choice if you read it or not so I don't think that it should be banned. Many people know that it is not true anyways. Waterford lamps. I think that Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone is a great book because it gives a lot of detail. If there is no freedom of speech there would be no independence. The Harry Potter series is one of the top one hundred non-accepted books in schools. One reason why it's banned is because there are graphic situations in the series, like death. Another reason might be that some religions consider magic evil, which is in the book repeatedly. Some reasons people feel it shouldn't be banned is it gives an imaginative journey to another place which lets it's readers get away from daily stresses. It also lets the reader experience why people fear things they don't understand. I think the book's series should not be banned because it gives a passport to another realm. If Harry Potter's lamp series is banned, it takes away the author's freedom of speech and takes away freedom from the reader.
