Thread Name: Harry Potter: Good Witch or Bad Witch
Subject: RE: Harry Potter: Good Witch or Bad Witch
Only slightly on subject but this seems to be the place to place it: I was very disturbed at Harry's treatment at the hands of his aunt and uncle. A year old infant scarred after the murder of his mother and father is made to live in a closet under the stairs? No gifts for Christmas? No birthday parties? Limited food? Hand me downs? All this while his cousin lives in two rooms and is fed to obesity. Harry isn't even allowed to attend his cousin's birthday parties.

Then after a year at a school where he is treasured, he is put right back into the same home for the summer. The movie makers must have felt the same. This theme was reduced to a single scene in the movie. Anyone else bothered by it?
