I know when the first HP book came out, all sorts of religious groups were all panicking over the "evil" influences that they may have.

But a coworker of mine said something I think is true. The reason HP and LOTR are called Sci/Fi/Fantasy is they are supposed to be entertainment. Anyone who takes any of the stories and uses them to form some sort of cult or goes and practices Satinism or other Dark religions have already had that sort of thing in thier hearts. and any one who's faith is that weak that a scifi novel can influence thier way of thinking have no business reading such books, but a person who has every confidence and faith in what ever denomination abd religion they practice will get nothing but pure entertainment from them.

Yup! If it weren't Harry Potter, they'd join some Cthulhu cult.
