- Stephen Fry: But I do think it is one of the advances in children' s literature, that... that you've made with this remarkable series, is... that you have not held back -- from the difficult and the frightening, and the treacherous and the unjust, and all the things that most exercise children's minds.
- JK Rowling: Well I feel very strongly that there is a move to sanitize literature. Because we're trying to protect children, not from... necessarily... from the grisly facts of life, but from their own imaginations. I remember being in America a few years ago, and Halloween was approaching. And three television programs in a row were talking about how to explain to children, it wasn't real. Now there's a reason why we create these stories -- and we have always created these stories. And a reason why we have had these pagan festivals. And a reason why even the church allows a certain amount of fear. We need to feel fear. And we need to confront this in a controlled environment. That's a very important part of growing up, I think. And the child that is being protected from dementors in fiction, I would argue, is much more likely to fall prey to them, later in life, in reality. And also, what are we saying to children who do have scary and disturbing thoughts? We're saying, that's wrong. And that... that's not natural . And it's not something that's intrinsic to the human condition. That they're, in some way, odd or ill.
- SF: Exactly.
- JKR: And it's a very dangerous thing to tell a child!
