I'll bet this hag hasn't even read the books.
Pretty much. The protagonist is a wizard or warlock, so the book serves to normalize witchcraft. If you need evidence, just go to Amazon and read the kids' reviews of her books. Or consider the words of the media officer of the english Pagan Federation:
Media officer Andy Norfolk said: "In response to the increased queries coming from youngsters we established a youth officer, not to promote paganism, because that would be against pagan ethics, but merely to answer these queries and allow someone to offer advice and information.According to Rowling:"It is quite probably linked to things like Harry Potter, Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Every time an article on witchcraft or paganism appears, we had a huge surge in calls, mostly from young girls."
Harry's author, J.K. Rowling, now richer than the queen and the wealthiest woman in show business, told Malcolm Jones in a Newsweek interview, "I get letters from children addressed to Professor Dumbledore (headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the book setting), and it's not a joke, begging to be let into Hogwarts, and some of them are really sad. Because they want it to be true so badly they've convinced themselves it's true."
Sadly, HP is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to the portrayal of the occult in books marketed to teenagers. In fact, if you walk through Barnes and Nobles sci-fi/fantasy section, you will find little else.
This woman's attempt to ban HP won't succeed, but her effort is commendable.
Ping!
Wonder if the bible is allowed in this library.
Harry Potter is Wiccan?
That’s not possible, there isn’t one single fat ugly lesbian female character in any of these books.
