The anti-Potter website that Ebony referenced a few weeks back

also never uses the word "ban" - at worst it said "If you treasure 
God's truth, may I suggest you encourage your children not to read 
these books?" It did not advocate censorship, or removing them from 
commercial distribution (which seems to be how some on this NG 
interpret the anti-HP agenda). While I would not agree that parents 
should discourage their children from reading HP, I think we would 
still endorse the right of parents to have some control over what 
their kids read, watch and listen to.
