Parents win fight to reinstate Harry Potter books

A US judge has ordered Harry Potter books back on to an Arkansas school district’s library shelves, rejecting a claim that tales of wizards and spells could harm children.

Ruling in favour of a fourth-grader’s parents, US District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren ordered the Cedarville School District in western Arkansas to put the four books in JK Rowling’s popular series back in general circulation.
