What I want to know is:
How did the girl's parents find out what she was doing at school? Please don't say the teacher was "concerned" and sent a note home, or called the parents.
Really, the idea that you must stop playing at her house because she pretended to cast a lightning bolt is just ridiculous.

Did she at least remember to loot after she cast the lightning bolt?
And so there goes another persons imagination...
My brother got in the dog house when his little girl Megan use his phase, 'damn idiot, no sense at all'.

Heh - My 5 year old son was turning people into frogs a while back. It was funny! But playing at one house constantly can be a burden if only one family member plays. In the group I play in, we shift houses. For the group I run, we host at my house all the time. My wife plays (though she has kind of stopped since she is pregnant and gets tired early right now) and we like to have everyone come over.
I would imagine the concern might be more that in today's post-Columbine climate the parents are heading off any problems that might ensue from their little girl running around going "Zap! You're dead! Lightning bolt! Blew your head off!" K and pre-K kids have been sent home for making pretend guns with their finger and thumb sticking out and "shooting" each other like we used to do in our (very un-PC) games of cowboys and indians back in the day, and for making comments like "You're dead" or "I'll kill you" (I can remember yelling that a lot as a kid on the playground in some games).
*** I DO NOT WISH TO TURN THE DISCUSSION TO THE CORRECTNESS OR WRONGNESS OF THIS ATTITUDE IN THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION ***
I merely am pointing out that I can understand what the parents may possibly be thinking. After all, it IS their right to choose what Suzie is exposed to regardless of what any of us here may think.

Dub! Material components
Maybe preschool has been a while for some of you. I can see exactly why the teacher and parents were concerned.
The material components for the spell in question include a bit of fur and a rod fashioned from amber, crystal or glass. Amber and crystal are expensive, and crystal and glass are both potentially dangerous on a preschool playground. Where did she get the fur, praytell? I picture a class hamster with a bald spot.
Secondly, when you've got a preschool-aged child, that child is probably peeking, cuteness-wise, and you're just not ready for them to grow up. Third level arcane spells?! That's graduate-level thaumatergy, for crying out loud! I'd be a little saddened too.
