Actually, there *have* been attacks on the Oz books in the past, but
nothing like we're currently seeing for Harry...

BTW, did anyone else catch that clip on CNN last week? It appears the
anti-Harry league is taking a leaf out of the Creationists' book and
arguing that Witchcraft is a religion and that therefore to allow Harry
Potter in schools violates seperation of church and state. (This from
the same guys who in other forums have argued that seperation of church
and state is just "a product of some infidel's imagination"!)
