I noticed that this particular item had a lower score because someone had given it a one-star review. When I read the one-star review, I saw that the person giving it named themselves "Child Of Light" and gave it a one-star review because it was "Witchcraft." Even said something to the effect of, "Might as well just tell your child, here you go, honey, now burn in hell." I then saw that she was ALL OVER the toy reviews on Amazon doing the same thing. I clicked "Review Not Helpful" on all of her reviews.
Seriously, what is wrong with people? I'm pretty sure that if Hell were real (SPOILER ALERT: it isn't), owning a TOY isn't going to get you there.

(17,984 posts)That's always a dilemma with looking at items on Amazon. I'd say 80% of the reviews are helpful, but there are some reviews that are completely insane. When an item gets thousands of reviews, it's very difficult to wade through them all.
BTW: I reported that review as abuse by a religious nut job who hadn't bought the thing.

A lack of rational thought and a need for a sense of superiority.

Obviously the Harry Potter books are harmless fantasy for kids. He said that whackjobs shouldn't claim that things like they taught kids magic unless they walk into their room and find the kid floating above the bed surrounded by demons.
