some lights seem eternal
in this springtime of hope

Mr. Stewart�s class will be going to the movie theatre to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This has caused a minor controversy about what literature is being taught and discussed or merely disseminated for the children�s reading pleasure.

In light of the recent controversy over the Harry Potter franchise I would like to make an uncharacteristic move and capitulate to the complaints of the minority of tuition paying parents/grandparents and will remove Harry Potter, years one through five, if anyone can meet my challenge.

The Harry Potter Exorcism Challenge

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a series of five books totaling at least two-thousand-seventy-seven pages long, in British English, that children want to read to the point of fighting over it. There may be no nudity.

If you can do this not only will I be impressed, but I will also consider removing Mr. Potter from my classroom library.
