There was quite a bit of coverage a few years ago, but of course I don't remember the sources. I did a quick search and here is an example from http://www.gvnet.com/childprostitution/Russia.htm:

"Russia is now one of the main producers of child pornography in the world, and it registers significant incidences of child prostitution and child trafficking for sexual purposes, according to the Russian National Consultation on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children.

St. Petersburg and northwestern Russia report a high incidence of sex tourism, which is widely advertised on the Internet and is aimed at people from neighboring Scandinavian countries. Child prostitution is the most common form of child exploitation in that region"

Funny you should mention Harry Potter

Check these out:

School bans Harry Potter

Emirates ban Potter book

'Satanic' Harry Potter books burnt

Banning all sorts of books is alive and well, making zealots proud. It's all in the eye and mind (or lack thereof) of the beholder.
