Laura Mallory fails again
A judge in Gwinnett County, Georgia ruled on Tuesday that the Potter books can stay in school libraries (after local concerned parent Laura Mallory tried once again to have them banned from schools and libraries). After all of these attempts in court, Mallory has finally admitted she may "need a whole new case from the ground up."

Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

Posted by Opaque May 30th 2007

I'm glad that some of it's finally getting through to her.


Posted by john789 May 30th 2007

Omg when will that woman stop!!......I am glad that other people are more intelligent by keeping the books in schools.


Posted by Clarinha May 30th 2007

Nobody deserves her!!!


Posted by RedHeadNuphar May 30th 2007

yay!!!!!!!! take that, you ....... !!!! :DD HP ROCKS


Posted by LunaLouise May 30th 2007

Hope she finally gives up. It was a fruitless effort to begin with. And this from people who claim to know what the series is about without reading it. Can tell a book by it's cover then hé ?


Posted by suomipirate May 30th 2007

She's just a crazy woman.... like the mother on that movie. Cary.


Posted by clrenn May 30th 2007

THEY JUST NEED TO MAKE HER READ THE BOOKS!!!! THEN SHE CAN SAY WHAT SHE WANTS TO SAY. SHE NEEDS TO JUST LEAVE US LONE BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE MORE BOOK AND THATS IT!!!! But she is stuped. I fell sorry for who every she related too:-( I would be shame to call her a aunt or whatever. Good thing am not related to her. I know that sound mean but still!!!


Posted by FlightyTemptress May 30th 2007

I don't care how many cases she builds from ground up. She's never going to win because it's the stupidest case in history.


Posted by Swansonblvd May 30th 2007

Hahaha! Idiot Of The Year strikes out again! She is so stupid!


Posted by GwinGinny May 30th 2007

As a resident of Gwinnett County, all I can say is thank God I can still read my books in a library. Not like I was worried.


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 30th 2007

ha ha!! shes such a loser!!(i mean it both ways) time to send her a letetr again!! i like to laugh in her face!!!


Posted by The_Obsesser May 30th 2007

We Potter fans are so cruel, aren't we? Ah, well, we all know she deserves it.


Posted by auror1470 May 30th 2007

Give it up already or we will have Bellatrix pay you visit Ms. Mallory!


Posted by Dragonprincess25 May 30th 2007

This women needs to get a life! If you don't want your kids to read these books, then tell them not to read them. I can't understand why someone doesn't take this crazy women aside and tell her, that you are just wasting your time and money.


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 30th 2007

get a life LOSER! *what a moron*


Posted by granger1019 May 30th 2007

ha ha ha! Has she still not read the books yet? It would save a heck of a lot of her time if she just tries them and knows what they are really about!


Posted by guady_lupe May 30th 2007

It doesn't really worry me at all, because I would still keep the books if they were banned ¬¬... but I hate that woman ! xD It's time she gave up ¬¬


Posted by Ruffien May 30th 2007

I'm almost ashamed to say i live in Georgia b/c of this woman.... she just needs to read the books after that she can say anything she wants to but until then she needs to keep her idiotic mouth shut.


Posted by AliceFO May 30th 2007

Urgh, shes such an idiot. Hopefully now she'll get the message that the whole world loves Harry Potter and one horrible woman won't change that. I mean fair enough, she doesn't like them - but that doesn't mean everyone else can't have that choice!


Posted by yoroshiku May 30th 2007

in your face hoe


Posted by SarahBoBarah May 30th 2007

I think she should just give it up already. I mean, she's failed this many times... there's no point. Plus, if she'd actually read the books, which of course she hasn't, she'd see that they're not satanic. Yep, a book about a boy wizard who managed to defeat Voldemort as a baby because of his mom's love... that sounds pretty satanic to me, too. Come on, Ms. Mallory. Really.


Posted by Quiscalus May 30th 2007

Who let her out of her straight-jacket?!!! O_o


Posted by kmg_photo May 30th 2007

Stupid woman! Why try and ban Harry Potter when there are plenty worse books in school libraries to be worrying about. I bet shes some radical christian that thinks Harry Potter is all about dark witchcraft and satanic material...stupid woman yet again.


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 30th 2007

i hope she takes her case to federal court!! she'll be embaressed infront of whole world now!!


Posted by afelicis May 30th 2007

I wonder whether her children are ashamed...I´d certainly be.


Posted by Padfoot_SiriusBlack May 30th 2007

OMG! I hate that woman, would you just give it a rest! Come on, Just read a Harry Potter book for sake! If i was here child i would be really mad!


Posted by reegodofmischief May 30th 2007

Hey- Mallory is going to be on Fox News in a few minutes if anyone cares. It could be funny to watch.


Posted by FawkesPromise May 30th 2007

http://www.hisvoicetoday. org/contact.htm LMAO, here's that horrid womans site...if anyone wants to send their condolences to the idiot and her tribe...;-) HAHAHAHAHAHA


Posted by Marion May 30th 2007

ah ah bien fait pour elle !!!!!!!!!


Posted by phoenixknight May 30th 2007

AND SO ENDS THE FAMED STORY OF THE COURAGEOUS, INTELLIGENT AND BRAVE WOMAN WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO DESTROY THE MOST EVIL OF WITCHCRAFT SATANIST BOOKS IN THE WORLD! SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A PIONEER OF HER TIME! SALUTE!


Posted by goldensnitch01 May 30th 2007

As much as I would like to call her every bad name that comes to my mind, I won't because none of them are good enough to describe what she is. I am really ashamed to say that I am from the same state as she is. She needs to realize that she is just wasting not only her time and money but others' as well. If she would just read the books then I'll bet we wouldn't hear another word from her mouth. I don't understand why she can't spend her time fighting against other issues that need to be dealt with.... like gangs for instance. Nope. Instead she wants to make herself look foolish by trying to get these kicka** books banned from ONE COUNTY in ONE STATE in ONE COUNTRY. Get a clue Mrs. Mallory! Even if by some miracle you did get Harry Potter banned from Gwinnett County schools, who's to say that the students won't go somewhere else and read them? She doesn't need to be fighting against something that she knows nothing about!


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 30th 2007

reegodofmischief - she is??


Posted by erinavy May 30th 2007

Come on people, I realize that she was being a royal witch, but that doesnt mean that we have to be that way to her. She is just so closed minded that she cant see that the harry potter books are the reason I love reading now. yes I might be 22, but before these books, you couldnt have paid me to read a book. in addition to that, because of my learning dissablity, I read very slow. but my comprehension is better now and I am reading more than I have in my life. All thanks to JK. so if that woman wants to try and take what could be the greatest childrens book series ever, the reason I am sure many other kids start reading than she can just shut it. I am through with people not seeing these books for what they are, FANTASTIC!!!


Posted by Horcrionebay May 30th 2007

You all act like you're actually SURPRISED. Please. She KNEW that she wouldn't win. We knew that she wouldn't win. I don't see reason so be happy, really. We had already "won" if you can even call "winning by default" actually "winning."


Posted by ilovemyflute May 30th 2007

I feel really bad for her children, imagine not getting to read Harry Potter because your mother is stupid enough to think they are satanist. I'd probably cry, and not to mention how embarassed they probably are. If my mom were doing something like this, I'd run away and go hide out under a rock.


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 30th 2007

SHES GOING TO BE ON FOX NEWS IN A FEW MINS!! EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK IT OUT!! its going to be funny


Posted by Travis May 30th 2007

You can also read the story at http://www.foxnews.com/st ory/0,2933,276152,00.html It says here that "At Tuesday's hearing, Mallory argued in part that witchcraft is a religion practiced by some people and, therefore, the books should be banned because reading them in school violates the constitutional separation of church and state. 'I have a dream that God will be welcomed back in our schools again," Mallory said. "I think we need him." Aren't these comletely contradictory statements? She's arguing against witchcraft in school because of separation of church and state and at the same time she's arguing that we need god in schools? Apparantly there's only a separation of church and state if it's someone else's church.


Posted by amara May 30th 2007

Posted by yuvalavrami May 30th 2007

Posted by Phoenician May 30th 2007

Quotes
I tell you, that dragon's the most horrible animal I've ever met, but the way Hagrid goes on about it, you'd think it was a fluffly little bunny rabbit. When it bit me, he told me off for frightening it. And when I left, he was singing it a lullaby.

Ron Weasley
Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 14, Page 237
