The Harry Potter books should be burned and all prints of the movies destroyed as well.

That's a rather harsh review. I didn't think they were very good, but they weren't that bad.

A burning of “satanic” Harry Potter books, ouija boards,
and rock music at the Christ Community Church in
Alamogordo, New Mexico (2001). After the event,
an outpouring of donations was made to the local public library,
which used the funds to purchase additional copies.

Thankfully we have freedom of speech so that those who want to read can choose their reading material for themselves - even if it is garbage- rather than leave it up to whomever has a match and too much political power.

No book is a threat if you raised your children properly; my folks never exercised any restraint on our reading material and none of us fell away. In the case of fantasy books all you need do if you really don’t trust how well you’ve taught your kids, is read the books with them and hold a conversation with them about the material. That way they know the hot topic of their peers without being consumed by it, and can in turn influence the unchurched readers in ways they otherwise could not.
