who can't tell fiction novels from nonfiction!? There are people in authority among us who believe magic is real, spells and curses are real and this is the position of a largest religious organization in the world.

They believe the beloved children's fantasy books on Harry Potter are instead a dark and evil grimoire for conjuring demons. Welcome to the loony bin where it's still 1019 in medieval times. Quick, call the medication nurse to the psych ward!

No wonder organized religion is in rapid decline if this is their actual conviction. Perhaps they should closely examine their own sacred books for similar reference to the occult and then ban the lot of 'em!

The world would be a much better place with more Harry Potter stories and fewer religious texts.
