We're all familiar with right-wing reactionaries decrying Harry 
Potter for "seducing" young people to explore the occult.  (I think 
mostly it "seduces" young people to cheat on their homework--think 
Divination.<g>)

If any of us thought the film would change the (already closed) 
minds of folks who object to Potter, these reviews should establish 
that they are still firmly opposed.  Of course, I don't think the 
film is a very thorough portrayal of the Potter universe, but even a 
thorough portrayal probably wouldn't have swayed these folks.

This is Robert Knight's review (he of the Culture and Family 
Institute):

Prepare to be appalled...
