Oh no he didn't!A book by George W Bush's former speechwriter reveals that officials in the White House did not want J.K. Rowling to recieve the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Why?
The Harry Potter books "encouraged witchcraft".
Then what about the fact that she got almost an entire generation of kids to start reading books? That she has done something that no one has ever done before? Oh no, don't give me all that Mark Twain, Enid Blyton crapola - No one has ever before reached out to boys AND girls in such a wide age span. What about the fact that she has created a whole world that millions of kids (and adults) dream about every day?
Not important? Oh well, I can understand. Clearly all her fans run around brandishing twigs shouting "Accio!" Clearly.
My opinions about this matter obviously has nothing to to with the fact that I have a Harry P bedding set and am borderline fanatical. Nothing at all...
I saw this story and was thoroughly amused. Those Christian Americans are a loopy old bunch!
