I'd be most interested in comments

(or lack of thereof) in these books!

I, too, would be most interested in these book reviews.  I apologize for coming in late on this discussion, but I sure am glad it was started.  To tell you the truth, I am a late-comer to the HP books and movies because I had some misconceptions about them stemming from the arena of religion.  So, I am delighted to hear that this subject has been addressed, though I didn't know that until *after* I became a fan.  I am adult enough to keep the issues involved in proper perspective now, so I can enjoy HP without my religious beliefs being threatened.  I *definitely* want to get my hands on at least one of the books suggested, so see how the issues of HP and Christianity are addressed.  And, although I am a full-fledged HP fan, there is one concern I have, though I won't address it here.  

Anyway, I want to thank you all for this thread, which gave me the opportunity to speak about this.  I presume this has been discussed plenty before, so I don't think it would be appropriate for me to bring this whole thing back up for the umpteenth time here.  I guess the reviews will be a good place to start in my "making peace" with this issue.
