Bookworm:
Here is the link to an audio from Catholic Insider:
(http://catholicinsider.com/scripts/index.php)
"Vatican Radio clears up the confusion about pope Benedict's alleged 
condemnation of the Harry Potter series! Listen to a special podcast 
in which a Vatican official says that there's nothing wrong with 
Harry Potter."

Instead of audio, here is the transcript:

It's ironic you mention opinions.  Monsignor Peter Fleedwood clearly 
states:
"What my advice would still be to parents: if you're in doubt, read 
the books yourselves, the first one, that's the shortest one, and 
see what you think. Don't simply rely on somebody else's opinion, 
not even on my opinion, since it's only an opinion."

Looks like nothing but more hype (publicity?) from fear-mongers.
