A far-right Christian woman has given Harry Potter a complete overhaul, quite literally taking all the magic out.
Her children, it seems, wanted to read the series - and rather than just telling them to read something else, she rewrote it instead.
Grace Ann has changed Hogwarts into a School of Prayer and Miracles, referred to the protagonist's BFF as Ronald because 'Ron' was somehow inappropriate, restyled Hermione as someone who just wants to be different from classmates "trying to be like the career women they saw on Sex And The City", and turned Voldemort into a politician attempting to ban Christianity.
This extract gives you a solid idea of what to expect:
Grace Ann explains: "My little ones have been asking to read the Harry Potter books; and of course I'm happy for them to be reading, but I don't want them turning in to witches. So I thought….. why not make some slight changes so these books are family friendly? And then I thought, why not share this with all the other mommies who are facing the same problem? So here it is!"
