Of course not all is well in Harry Land, Freedom Forum tell us that Harry was one of the most 100 challenged books last yet, of course, this should Come as no suprise.
The Nando Times has a shocking story that shows Mr Potter has a worldwide appeal.\”The books are in such demand that the 16 libraries in the western state of Saarland won\’t loan out \”Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.\” Instead, those wanting to find out what happens in the fourth in the series of books by J.K. Rowling must read the book during library hours.\” Keep in mind these books are in English, they haven\’t been translated yet!

Has a Story on how the nation\’s No. 1 best-seller won\’t be at the top of the nation\’s No. 1 best-seller list.

This Story at American Prospect does a decent job of addressing the conservative group concerns over the Wicca Elements in the Potter Series.\”Some have alleged that the lightning bolt scar on Harry Potter\’s forehead, which is vaguely S-shaped, stands for \”Satan.\” Always searching out threats to his brand of Christian morals, Jerry Falwell once accused the purple, purse-carrying Teletubbies character Tinky Winky of being gay; Satan-pushing Harry Potter may trump even Tinky Winky on the list of evils. There\’s no denying Harry Potter has a lot of symbolism for Wiccans,\” comments Karen Jo Gounaud, president of Family Friendly Libraries. \”Everyone is a witch or warlock; they cast spells, drink blood. They believe in reincarnation.\” . I\’m not sure if he\’s a witch, or satan, or what. Ill just stick with the Onion\’s take on this matter.
