Since witches and such are always clearly evil in Grimm's Fairy tales, Christians have no problem with it at all. Harry Potter is putting the occult before children as a positive thing.

It's a work of FICTION, people! Do your kids actually believe that it is possible to change form into a cat? Fly around on a broomstick? Or levitate candles? Mine are fully aware of the difference between fantasy and reality. If yours aren't ... you've got bigger problems on the horizon than a stupid kids' book series ...

Change form into a cat? Nah, nobody believes that. What we know is that if you use the right drugs you can change form into a bird. See Carlos Castenada, The Yaqui Way of Knowledge.

Fortunately, children are probably better judges of this dreck than some adults.
