Harry Potter stuff- what is the problem with the christians?? if they don't like it why do they read it and if they haven't read it what right do they think they have to disagree with it or even talk about it. At least when I argue with people about the christian bible I have read it!! and I would never dream of burning it just because it contains some ideas (lots actually) that I'd rather didn't get into my kid's heads.

Everybody needs someone or something to make them feel outraged and superior. Harry Potter uses a (subjectively) heretical foundation for providing entertainment to children and adults alike, and therefore becomes a target for militant, reactionary groups. "Suffer not a witch to live!" is their battlecry, but I much prefer a (sadly paraphrased) quote from another book:
Deserves death? I daresay he does. Yet, how many who die deserve life? Can you give that back to them? Do not be so quick to render judgment!
