Twilight and Harry Potter!?! What was somebody thinking? A little harmless teen fiction to keep the prisoners occupied perhaps? No!
First off, it appears that only 2 Potter books are available...Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. Upon realizing this, one might say, "Well, at least those prisoners won't learn any of the Unforgivable Curses and won't learn about what Horcruxes are"...at least that's what I said. However, if you think about it Guantanamo Bay is probably about as close to Azkaban as you can get (located on an island in the middle of the sea...Cuba in the middle of the Caribbean Sea)...so WHY are we giving these prisoners a book about a guy who escapes from Azkaban!!!?!!!
That's the most obvious problem we have here. If you think about the power of J.K. Rowling's writing and how awesome the Harry Potter books are you know that it's almost inevitable that prisoners will stage a riot or claim under International Law that they are entitled to the other books in the series...that's when we need to change the color on that Homeland Security Advisory System!
I'm going to stop myself right there with Harry Potter. I feel that if I let myself go any further I might write a book detailing the parallels that exist between Harry Potter and the U.S. war on terrorism.
