Harry Potter's Girl Trouble

What positive qualities does Schoefer identify in the Harry Potter books? Schoefer describes the four factors that lead her to purchase that Harry Potter books: Leading on best sellers list, parent's raves about the books, and her daughter glamorizing over Harry Potter character. She was intrigued by the magical world, wizards, sorcerers, and Hogwart's School of witchcraft. There are other positive factors that should have been mentioned; for example, the troubles that Harry had to endure while growing up. His parents died when he was young, and his family treated him very badly. Because he was not their child, he was treated like an outcast. However, this did not influence Harry to be a hateful or negative person and influenced with positive attitude. I do not feel that she is not justified in discussing this positive aspect of the books. This is an important factor that no matter how bad things may seem a person can be a productive individual. He shows no bitter emotions to those who treat him very badly. Also, he is a positive role model for other young people that may have lost their parents due to a tragedy. I feel that Schoefer seems to be "sexist", by the way she down grades Hermione's self worth. I thought these were books to enjoy reading and take you away from everyday life. I feel that Schoefer is more focused on the sexist instead of the actual stories.
