I've observed the Anti-Harry Potter movement. They have very negative attitudes toward the books, and the fact that they haven't read them, but only listened to what other people said about them is part of the reason. Many in this movement believe that Satan can get ahold of your mind simply by picking up the book and reading the words. Thus, when someone in the movement picks up Harry Potter, and actually reads it and says "this really is a good book, it's not at all like we were told!" the True Believers will simply assume that this person must have had their mind twisted by Satan when they read it.
