I don't question your love for God, Rev. Bender. You must have faith if you think your earthly actions will be unpunished in the afterlife. I don't have to ask if you've read a single page of a single Harry Potter book. People like you, who condemn works of art for not fitting a narrow set of values, rarely take the time to experience the items you condemn. You aren't alone in banning Harry Potter books.
Bigotry loves company.
Libraries in Michigan, Kansas, Colorado, California and 10 other states have banned the J.K. Rowling stories, and protests in Orlando and Jacksonville have resulted in at least one reading-incentive program being canceled. The Potter tales are ostensibly for young readers, but have caught on with a huge audience. As of this week, all six of Rowling's Harry Potter books are on USA Today's top 25 bestseller list. Sales and popularity are important, because, Rev. Bender, you know you won't get any press unless you attack well-known books. Children line up for hours to get each new Harry Potter book.
