No, but there are many kids who do get interested in the occult from HP. They think it’s a safe thing to get involved in because of what they’ve read in HP - namely they will be okay doing magic if they have good intentions.

I've read this accusation for ten years. It worried my mother for a while so she had me read the books before letting my younger siblings - some of them were only five or six at the time - read them. I still haven't actually found anyone who can back this claim up with evidence. Where are the kids flocking to Wicca? Where is the huge increase in virgin sacrifices and satanism? It's been ten years, there should be some proof by now.

Do you have any evidence of this? I've known hundreds of kids who have read and enjoyed Harry Potter books. NOT ONE of them is remotely interested in the occult.
