Jenny is against the books. She thinks the books are immoral. She is shocked that our society thinks the books are O.K. and totally acceptable. She thinks J. K. Rowling should use her writing gifting to glorify God.

Laurie Gill is for the books. She says the Potter books have been the springboards for wonderful teaching moments and discussions in her Christian family. She says Harry's behaviour is Christlike.
In each of the four books Harry has put his very mortal existence on the line in defence od his friends and in the battle with evil. Harry's world is a moral universe that provides much that is worthy for the Christian imagination.

The most publicized protest against Harry was in Columbia, South Carolina. The parents protested to school boards that the books contained too much evil. were too dark. They argued that the books promoted witchcraft, especially Wicca (which is never mentioned in the books), which they said was a religion and the reason why the books should be removed from schools.
