You sure about that? Is the Oprah book club really a good thing?

Wow that's really amazing and a breakthrough. I have heard before that reading of novels about witchcraft and fantasy like Harry Potter were not encouraged by some schools. But, today, I think people are already open-minded, aren't they?? Anyway, Harry Potter isn't discussed about witchcraft but more on the literature side. I would really want to hear about how HP is compared to the other books "theologically".
