What about Lord of the Rings? Was religion a factor in those movies? No not really but why not ther was magic and mistical themes in those movies. Its thought that because the Harry Potter series were intended for a youg audiance that it is morally not politicly correct. Well it seems that the audiance is of all ages and loved by most not least. Children should have had a base idea of religion from thier parents; so reading or watching HP shouldn't make a difference.
