>>What kind of people think that defending Human Rights is Evil?<<

I think that the problem with people who say that Harry Potter is evil is that most of them ~haven't read the books~.  They see a series that is about ~witches~ and magic and it must be evil.  It must of course be teaching the children evil things like making them want to become wizards as a career choice.

You may have noticed by my tone that I think this type of thinking is very narrow minded to say the least but unfortunately that's the basis for most of the arguments for banning the books.  There's actually a school board near where I live in Canada that wants to ban the books (idiots in my opinion -- wouldn't want to give the kids something that they actually ~want~ to read now would we?) 

Unfortunately the people who think this way wouldn't actually read the books with an open mind (if at all) because then they'd have to admit that they were wrong and fanatics of course never are wrong (just ask the Dursleys ;))

Just thought I'd put in my two cents.
