But there's no allure of evil in the HP books. Nothing that has anything to do with the evils of real world occult is in them. Yes there is evil in the books, in the form of the bad guys certainly that's not alluring.

They simply aren't evil, they don't teach occult, they don't entice to evil, they're just stupid little books that are fun to read for a few hours. No big deal.

Yes, but so what? Very few people decide that they plan to do evil for sake of evil. It's their inability to discren between right and wrong. And Harry Potter is full of incidents which are exceptions to basic moral principles: Lying, stealing, concealing, disobeying, trespassing. In most cases, Harry Potter's actions are morally justifiable, but again: they are fantastic exceptions to general moral principles.
