Religious debates over the Harry Potter series
Religious debates over the ''Harry Potter'' series of books by J. K. Rowling are based on claims that the novels contain occult or Satanic subtexts. A number of Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians have argued against the series, as have some Shia and Sunni Muslims.〔〔 Supporters of the series have said that the magic in ''Harry Potter'' bears little resemblance to occultism, being more in the vein of fairy tales such as ''Cinderella'' and ''Snow White'', or to the works of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, the former known for writing fantasy novels with Christian subtexts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Ted Olsen )〕 Far from promoting a particular religion, some argue,〔 the ''Harry Potter'' novels go out of their way to avoid discussing religion at all. However, the books' author J. K. Rowling, describes herself as a practising Christian,〔 and many have noted the Christian references which she includes in the final novel ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''.〔
In the United States, calls for the books to be banned from schools have led to legal challenges often on the grounds that witchcraft is a government-recognised religion and that to allow the books to be held in public schools violates the separation of church and state.〔〔〔 The Orthodox churches of Greece and Bulgaria have also campaigned against the series, and some Catholic writers and officials have voiced a critical stance.〔 The books have been banned from private schools in the United Arab Emirates and criticised in the Iranian state-run press.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Mimri blog )〕 Religious responses to ''Harry Potter'' have not all been negative. "At least as much as they've been attacked from a theological point of view," notes Rowling, "(books ) have been lauded and taken into pulpit, and most interesting and satisfying for me, it's been by several different faiths."
