Banning Tolkien, some questions - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Just to let people know that when P.J. put that whole wizard fight between Gandalf and Sauaman, some people automatically thought that that was in the books. A lady in my photo class said that she saw magic in the previews and that is why she won't even read the books. I did explain to her the whole that was just Peter Jackson bit but she still didn't believe me. So people see the previews of the movies and think that the books have just the same amount of magic in them. But we all must remember Tolkien was concerned that he put too much magic in the books so we can't say that there isn't any.

I think that this is the whole reason for a lot of the book Nazi stuff. The censers are moving towards A Brave New World, where even Shakespeare is outlawed.
