Another One Bites The Dust

Good Lord. I just got finished reading the 6th Harry Potter book. Could not be any more depressed right now. What happened to it being a children's book? That was no children's book. In fact, had I been a child reading the book, I'm quite certain I would be suffering from flashbacks associated with post-traumatic stress disorder at this moment. I mean, if you're trying to break your child into dealing with traumatic situations, why not just ease them in slowly by telling them how life really is? "Santa's not real! Tooth fairy's a fraud! There's no Easter Bunny and eggs are actually hidden by your parent/guardian/grandparent! You'll grow up and have a shitty job that you hate regardless of how much you study in school! Sometimes love isn't enough to get you through! People will fail you - time and time again, so trust only yourself, little one!" Most children could probably handle that string of traumatic truths much more easily than they could deal with this Harry Potter book...
On a side note, I highly recommend it. Excellent read.
Brace yourself...
