Those things were common knowledge at the time.

If they were common knowledge, it would seem as if Daniel wouldn't have had to study them...which the author states that he did, while the Book of Daniel says nothing of the sort. I call this sort of writing, "making up history to support your assertion."

While I doubt that reading a single Harry Potter book will damn anyone to hell, there are certain patterns in thought that are established early in life. One would be "supernatural stuff is just make believe." Another is an unhealthy interest in the actual practice of Wicca and other pagan religions. Either of these is likely to do so, either as a witch or an atheist.

The problem with American Christians today isn't that they see things like Harry Potter as a problem...it's that so few do, which speaks to the health (or lack thereof) of the American church.

Must be why all those King arthur legends were popular back during the Victorain era...because the church was so weak and unimportant to daily morality.

In all seriousness, you really need to get a grip if you can't see the difference between "All supernatural stuff is make-believe" and "These wizards in a book with a cartoon on the cover are make-believe."
