Thank you for this!!!! After listening to a certain podcast a few years back, I rashly followed the advice of a certain priest and pitched all my hardcover Harry Potter books, only to reflect a few months later on that fact that my siblings and I all loved reading them, had discussion groups together before the new books were released and are all 11 of us active, practicing Catholics still…
Thanks for tackling such a touchy topic, another reason why I’m card-carrying member of the Emily Stimpson Chapman fan club ;)
Emily, this is one of your best newsletters yet. Your commitment to Truth is strong, and your logic is clear. I especially appreciate your nuance in recognizing that while Harry Potter may be a worthy book for most, it may be unhealthy for a few. Bravo!
I have a polenta question, I have a 10lb bag of cornmeal (my sweet husband remembered I was out...while shopping at restaurant supply). I've seen bags at the store labeled "polenta", but is it basically cornmeal and similar? I'm sure these are questions for Google, but real life people are just more honest. Do you buy specific polenta, or is cornmeal fine too? Also, godspeed on the swings, I'm sitting outside while the 15m old eats sand and the almost three year old digs in the little tykes turtle I finally found only four years into the hunt. It's saving my life right now.

I think this is the best review of Harry Potter I’ve ever read. I appreciate your honesty, depth and conclusions.
