  Pippin:
  I've heard there are a few orthodox Jewish yeshivas (religious academies) that
  have banned HP out of concern for the prohibition against sorcery. But it 
  seems most Rabbis are lenient about it. I've seen it argued that it's okay
  to purchase a newly released Harry Potter book on Shabbat because the misery 
  of going without it would ruin the oneg (delight) of the holiday!
