Well, I've often said that while the Potter books are not nearly as Christian as Lewis' Narnia books, or Tolkien's LOTR, I have found commendable Christian virtues in the Potter series. And, I felt that my view was bolstered by the inclusion of two biblical quotes in the 7th book.

The gratuitous news that Dumbeldore was homosexual, and Rowling's little dig that this will give Christians one more reason to criticize the work, really irks me.

I found the books to be generally well plotted, with good characterization. As works of literature, I think they stand on good ground. But Rowling has definitely gone down a bit in my estimation. Foolish, unnecessary, anti-Christian thing to do. She's an ass.

if a kid has time to read a book, he does not have enough chores to do. Parents these days.

Oh dear god....

CAN’T YOU AMERICANS GRASP THAT SHE WAS JOKING....... , she wasnt being serious, just as Robbie Williams wasnt when she said to a US interviewer that he ‘was into bum sex and heroin.....’.

Get a clue, America,please. I like you, but Americans have never understood the dry sarcastic/ironic British sense of humour.

Sorry, but truly the stereotype that Americans ‘dont get irony’ is true. Why do you people take everything SO literally?.
