Ever since the first radio station in Chicago in 1921, parents have complained that the mindless drone of radio, fading into the mindless drone of television, has kept children from reading. Now that Harry Potter has coaxed children back to books, parents fault the series for promoting paganism, dysfunctional family values, and most recently, health problems (click here for the full article). J.K. Rowling solved an 82-year-old problem of childrearing, and for that, she deserves to be richer than the Queen of England. Did the doctor that has diagnosed "Hogwart's Headaches" stop to think that maybe the aches are the sensation of young brains being asked to think for the first time in their lives?
