Banned Books Week: J.K. Rowling
September 29th, 2007#7 on the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000.
Harry Potter |
Once again, the Harry Potter books feature on this year’s list of most-banned books. As this puts me in the company of Harper Lee, Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, William Golding, John Steinbeck and other writers I revere, I have always taken my annual inclusion on the list as a great honour. “Every burned book enlightens the world.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
- J.K.Rowling
Judy Blume, author of the challenged book Forever (#8 on the list), has some thoughts on the challenges to Harry Potter.
Banned Books Week is the brainchild of the American Library Association
