Harry Potter is being analysed in Salon. One article claims that the books are sexist, the other is a response and argues against misplaced political correctness. It confuses me how people can accuse these book of being politically incorrect. Perhaps it's people projecting their own prejudices and concerns which will cast an otherwise even-handed book in a biased light. People seem to try and judge what children will think and will do as if they're adults, but children are not adults and meaningful answers will not be obtained from this approach.
