im catholic. and i am definitely not against harry potter. i went to church yesterday (for like the first time in months) and for crying out loud, i was praying for sirius black (since he, well read OotP)
the whole idea about being against it just pisses me off. oops, just realized i am totally off topic of the discussion. ignore me and continue with what u were saying...

I'm against Harry Potter books, but not because I think they are the work of the proverbial devil, teach black magic, etc. But only because I find them extremely boring.
  ...joking. |

I read them. I like them. But I think the hype is...how do you say? Ah yes....ridiculous.
GW--I just meant that you meticulously picked my argument to bits.

Beg your pardon. But in my behalf, I also agreed with you.

I live in a country that has at least 80% of its population considering themselves catholic and the HP books have always sold well here. Everytime they stack up in the bookstores, they're gone in about a week (And I dare say it's not from rich catholics who don't want other people to read those "evil magic books" mwahahahah).
But I agree with many of the posters here that the HP books and magic, in general, scares the heck out of fundamentalists (those guys who take the religious scriptures of their religion, whatever it is, literally).

Catholics are NOT the ones against HP - it's the baptists and more fundamentalist Christian religions like the Pentecostals. The Pope even made a public announcemnet stating that there was nothing wrong with Harry Potter.
