Potter and Tolkien: morality

[pegkerr]

A nice little article covering the general outlines of the argument over morality of the Harry Potter books, and comparing the arguments raised in the controversy to the points that Christian apologists make when extolling Tolkien. Albanes the Annoying comes up again, and the notorious Onion article (really, when are the fundamentalists going to twig to the fact that that "article" was a parody?) Note: if you can't read the article because it tells you that you need to register, go to http://bugmenot.com to get a login.

They won't. They're being willfully obtuse because it serves their ideological ends.
