Some churches want schools to ban "Harry Potter"

NEW HAVEN, CT — Saying "Harry Potter" makes witchcraft and
wizardry 
alluring to kids, members of several city churches want the popular 
children's series banned from school libraries and reading lists.
  
 
Me -

You know it's just occured to me that if the kids buy in to the whole
Potterverse they should be *less* inclined to get involved in the occult -
after all in the Potterverse you magic isn't something you learn, it's
something you are. Yiou can learn how to use it but you're either born a
witch/wizard or you aren't ....

These people annoy me because I've had my own run ins with the 'Christian
Union' at my uni (I was in the role playing society - apparently we can
summon demons, I must have missed that meeting). Of course we didn't help -
they picketed our stall so we decorated it with black candles, pentagrams
and played music from films like the Exorcist .....
