The most important thing is listening to and talking with my children to see what their comprehension of the books & movie is.

I revived the thread because people are once again downing Harry Potter in lieu of the movie's release and extreme popularitynot to mention the huge jump in books sales worldwide. Just because you have resolved your issue with the HP books and rumors doesn't mean that everyone else has as well. It's obvious from the more resent posts that people are still in the dark about the books, are divided on the issue, and/or have opinions and questions despite your update post. If that's the case then the discussion should continue.
I think most people knew the Onion thing was a joke. I mean really, Rowling started HP book in a coffee shop to keep herself sane. Besides, if anyone took that article seriously then they didn't read the book and/or are way too impressionable.The issues lie with the parents, not the children. Kids are very open and accepting. It's parents that have difficulty accepting what they fear and/or don't understand, and that is always worth talking about.
