6)The consequences of having an entire generation wean themselves on this as an introduction to literature
- The view of literature as escapism
- No real expectation of realism in literature
- An inability to comprehend reality
- An unwillingness to tackle anything harder (than light fantasy)
- A belief in revelatory rescues at the last moment I applaud you for enlightening us about the evilness of Harry Potter books or fantasy in general. Your next essay could be about children betrayed by their dads in red clothes who give the kids the idea that there is a real Santa and not just guys in red clothes. The consequences for entire generations:

- The view that there is a real Santa
- An inability to comprehend reality, since they'll never figure out the truth
- A belief that everything would be given to them as a gift
- Therefore the complete inability of these kids to work for their own good
