I've read them because my son Thomas has read them many times.  He has
read hundreds of books. Many of them many, many times. Many of the
relatively long ones are in theis category. Roald Dahl is a favorite of
his.  I decided to read Harry Potter because I wanted to keep a hand
in, so to speak, to know what they are about, if there is anything that
supports discussion.  There isn't much really, and they are almost
totally benign -- they are pleasant, and fun, and not altogether as
simplistic as you make them sound, vis a vis good guys and bad guys. 
Not all bad.

Roald Dahl is good too, better, but hey, Harry is *cool*, and thats not
bad.

I'm going to give him Tolkein for his birthday.  He will be nine. FWIW

bizarre stuff going on with Chicken Run at Burger King.
