Grief counselors on hand for end of Harry Potter
I think this is a bit much, don’t you?
Terese Vorsheck is the director of the Highmark Caring Place, a center
for grieving children, adolescents and their families.
Ms. Vorsheck is available to speak with parents and children, as well
as the media, on how to cope with feelings of grief and loss. This is a
particularly timely issue with the release of the final Harry Potter book,
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows scheduled for release this Saturday,
July 21, 2007. Recent articles have sparked rumors suggesting that one or
more main characters will die. This could have a serious impact on
children, millions of whom have grown up reading, watching and profoundly
enjoying the characters and storylines of the Harry Potter series. As the
world comes to terms with the possible demise of a hero, The Highmark
Caring Place and Ms. Vorsheck will share insights helping children and
parents to cope with some of life’s most difficult challenges.
I think this is a VERY good example of 1) someone milking something for all its worth and 2) being way too politically correct. Geez, I remember reading “Where the Red Fern Grows” when I was about 12 and crying for a whole WEEK after the ending - and I didn’t need a grief counselor, for pete’s sake.
