Because everything I have seen makes it look like practicing sorcery and casting spells can be good and fun.

They aren't practicing anything except pretend. Kids can point twigs at each other and say words, and they are doing only that...pointing twigs and saying jibberish. It is fun to pretend, and it is also a vital part of childhood! Learning to be creative! They also learn the difference between make-believe and reality. Please don't spoil their childhood! Let them be children! I promise they will be more drawn to the darkness by your disallowment than anything in these books. In fact, they will be revolted by the evil, and inspired by Harry & company's actions against evil.

Being a Jedi looks pretty cool, and Luke Skywalker is a heroic, happy-go-lucky kind of guy. Did you notice a lot of kids building lightsabers in the late '70s?
