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...
