And it eat outgoing mail, also, I've lost one from Kat and one from Jo. I'm 
curious to know what happened, but I don't find anything.

In Spain things have never gone so far as to book burn - well, *that* would be 
headlines, sure, and the christians I know that can be called conservative 
have never expressed anti-HP feelings.

However I know a gipsy that considered that books in general (save the Bible) 
and fantasy in particular were a Satan's product, yes. He also believed that 
a person wearing black brings bad luck. Old, and the only one, the rest of 
them I knew didn't make any fuss about books or the movies (considering 
analphabetism is a real problem in their community).

>From the media, I receive the impression that the battle is over, because 
Disney owns the w.i.t.c.h., guardian girls with superpowers, targeted for the 
very young.
