"...Hitler's Nazi elite were themselves victims as children of what is now termed radical attachment disorder, having been the product of "new" thinking in strict and antiseptic child rearing techniques. These children later grew into conscience-less supermen with no hearts.

Attachment disorder is much talked about these days, the latest in clinical diagnoses, applied to such horrors as the mass murderers of Columbine. These are youth that never attached emotionally to a parent, either through multiple primary care givers, neglect or abuse. These children suffer a core rage and an inability to develop normal moral scruples. They are children who often seek out violence and the occult to gain control and to channel their rage. Is there no truer representation of this than our orphan Harry when he points his weapon of magic in rage at his aunt, or when he stands in a dark "haunted" house confused as to who exactly killed his parents and if he should kill him too?..."

BINGO! Above succinctly describes what the American pop culture sheeple may be cavalierly dismissing.

I would tend to agree, although I can't say that I am either "for" or "against" Harry Potter stuff. I see both sides of the argument, but I think you pointed out from the article something people dont want to recognize - and that is, this kind of stuff, entangled with everything else out there in "Pop Culture" will undoubtedly affect kids in some way. The signs may not be seen for years.
