In a post shared on Twitter, the parents say they first read her J. K. Rowling's stories when she was five years old and have told her the "wizarding world is real" ever since. They say they have consulted her teachers who believe it is 'awesome and creative' rather than damaging. The post on Twitter racked up more than 43,000 likes and sparked a debate, with some defending the parents' logic. Another replied to argue: "I was raised Christian but my parents didn't tell me that I was a descendant of Jesus Christ." But others were outraged and labelled it 'abuse', with one writing: "Instead of just teaching your daughter to love books you do...this?"
