Laura Mallory Interview: Potter & Witchcraft

by

Fox 5 in Atlanta brings us this interview with Laura Mallory, the Gwinnett County, Georgia, mother who fought to remove Harry Potter books from schools in Gwinnett County.

In Laura Mallory’s words:
“The Harry Potter books are mainstreaming witchcraft to our children. They’re presenting it in a child-friendly format that’s dangerous and deceptive.”

Yesterday, the Georgia State Board of Education ruled the Harry Potters books would be allowed to stay on the shelves.

The Fox 5 video (the image quality at the end of the video gets a little rough and pixelated…perhaps someone performed a pixelation charm on Ms. Mallory’s video image):

Laura Mallory gives us this final thought on her battle to remove the Harry Potter books from school libraries:

“If even one family or one child has been saved from the heartache other families have gone through with their children actually getting into witchcraft, um, then it’s worth it.” *
