In fact, ***most*** so-called book bannings are not bannings at all, but parents questioning the age appriateness of the material. And most accusers who like to throw such accusations around tend to believe in a lot of children's rights nonsense that conservatives don't. Please study the issue more carefully.
The comment was not directed at you sherlock, and "the banning" comment was a private joke actually...(not having to do with "book bannings at all)...the other kind.
BUT thanks for your enlightening imput!??? LOL
Larry Potter was an average, likeable kid. Average in all ways but one. He lived with some awful step-parents, the Dursleys. The Dursleys were witches, and they weren't the nicest witches. They used to make poor Harry sleep under the stairs. And worse. They used to hold their Wiccan rituals at all hours, keeping poor Harry awake most of the night. As you can guess, Larry was not very fond of them.
Then one day, a strange thing happened. There was a knock on the door, and who should be there but a giant! Without saying a word, the giant presented Larry with an envelope. Larry's eyes widened as he opened the letter. The letter said that Larry was a Christian! Not only that, but his real father was a Christian, and a very famous one at that. Apparently, at one time his father had battled another bad Christian named Walmart. Walmart used his position in the Church for personal gain. In fact, he embezzled a lot of money from the Church, money that was earmarked for the missions.
No one knew why Larry's real dad disappeared. But the note said that he was killed by the evil Walmart. Anyway, that explained the cross-shaped scar on Larry's forehead. It was carved there by... you know who!
But there was more. The note invited Larry to a school for Christian nuns and brothers. Deep in his heart Larry knew that he wanted to be a religious brother. So he packed his backs and off he went. He didn't even leave a note for those awful Dursley's!

Harry spent the next several years training to become a brother. He met many wonderful, holy men and women. He also witnessed some amazing things. One brother levitated during prayer! Another bore the marks of the stigmata, the marks of "The Great One Who Calls Himself I AM."
Harry also spent a great deal of time in trying to track down old Walmart. He worked with the police in trying to bring about justice....

The "Larry Potter" books are very popular in elementary schools these days. Children and teachers love the books. Of course, some self-proclaimed witches and ACLU types claim that the books glorify Christianity. Fortunately, they are in the minority.
The author, Aquinasfan denies the charge. "These books don't glorify Christianity," said Aquinasfan, thereby ending the debate.
Librarians have noted that books related to Christianity fly off the shelves whenever a "Larry Potter" book is released, and librarians have begun to make it a regular practice to stack copies of the Bible and The Catechism of the Catholic Church right next to the new "Larry Potter" books.
