I read this strip at Shortpacked and I got to thinking. What would happen if the Chronicles Of Narnia were released today, rather then 50 years ago. Or what would have happened if the Harry Potter books had been released 50 years ago, instead of today. would the same level of controversy occur?

I know that C.S. Lewis was a Born-Again Christian and that there is a lot of allegory in his books, but would it be over looked for the various occult elements like the White Witch? Like wise, would Harry Potter have been accepted back then.

I personally think that, had the releases of the series been switched, that the same results would have happened. Harry Potter would be accepted as classic children's literature while Narnia was condemned by parents groups. Maybe not as much as Harry Potter, but it probably would have happened none the less.
