- I look forward to the protests about libraries promoting magic and being unChristian as a result -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 09:58 6
  - Well, we already have books on, say, casting spells in nonfiction. If anyone wanted to protest, they've had plenty of reasons well before now. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 10:05 5

    - true, but people hear Harry Potter and lose their shit (plus makes for easy news stories) -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 10:06 3
      - odd, considering the explicit Christianity inspiration throughout -- nm - ML Feb 23, 10:12 2
