I have to second this.  I bought this book about
two weeks after reading the first HP book because
I myself was curious and a little concerned. 
Those of you who remember my first post, I used
to believe HP was evil, but curiousity got the
best of me and I buckled ;-)  When my parents
started looking at me funny, I gave the book to
my mom to read.  I think one of the best
arguments throughout the book is this:

If you're going to state that HP is evil because
it contains witchcraft, talking with the dead
(ghosts), magic(k), etc. then you have to apply
it across the board - a christmas carol,
practically all the disney movies, c.s. lewis,
every fairy tale you ever grew up on.

Definitely check the book out!
