Now Scots university issues a trigger warning for Harry Potter

The University of Glasgow is under fire for warning students that classic children's literature, including "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone," contains "outdated attitudes and abuse." Critics argue this reflects a "triggering epidemic," highlighting the course on British Children's Literature that includes authors like Lewis Carroll and Enid Blyton.

Although the warning does not specify any text's content, it mentions that these works may address sensitive topics such as abuse and outdated views.

Novelist Dame Margaret Drabble criticized the need for such warnings, suggesting students can enjoy these stories without distress.

The university stated that content advisories help students prepare for critical discussions by addressing potential issues related to childhood, race, or gender.
