I will add galleons:
The people who condemn the book as stanic woship....have they read 
it?  I wonder becasue I cannot see how you could come away with that 
feeling.  The basic plot of the series is good versus evils, and the 
sacrifices you endure sometimes when doing the right thing. Just look 
what Christ gave up and what he suffered by doing the right thing. I 
am Presbyterian, attend church fairly regularly. My sister is a 
church elder!  WE both love the book!! 

The HP series actually parallel alot things in society today. A good 
example of this (my opinion) is the the people who see the books as 
promoting devil worship etc are the just like Corneleus Fudge not 
believing DD about LV's return, and his fear of DD.
