Don't give me that. Parents who want the books banned from libraries or schools are violating the rights of other parents who have no problem with their children reading Harry Potter. And no child can be required to read the books - if it's on a school reading list there's always the option to opt out.
Look at the section under "Book challenges."
How would you like it if some stranger came up to you and told you what books your child could or couldn't read? What right do you have to tell parents what books their children can or can't read?

If you want your kid to read the books, buy them yourself or borrow them from a friend. But any taxpayer has the right to speak out about not wanting their tax money spent on certain things.

No one told you that you couldn't get the books for your kid. Get a clue.
