Harry Potter Promotes Global Understanding?

Exploris is a non-profit museum in downtown Raleigh “dedicated to promoting global understanding” (News & Observer, 11-14-05).



How is it doing that? By showing “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”


And who paid for Exploris’ IMAX movie theatre? Well, taxpayers. By giving the museum $11.9 in tax money to build it and an annual subsidy of $1.7 million.


That’s our tax money at work.


Meantime, local theatres will be promoting ‘global understanding’ at no cost to the taxpayers by showing “Harry Potter and the Circle of Fire” on their own nickel.
