That makes sense, and I thought that might be the case.

When people are members of religious sects that issue statements against certain titles, there's always the possibility a member who reads the titles might go looking for mitigating circumstances to be able to say "No, I've read them! It's not like that at all! Look here! All of this is in accord with the teaching of our faith, and okay for me to read!" The converse is that if the communicant can't find the mitigating circumstances, they may be required to stop reading that sort of content, if they accept the right of the faith to dictate what they may read.

I'm pleased that wasn't the case here. But I am curious: what does your sect object to in the Harry Potter series?
