Although it isn't my normal type of book and I haven't checked availability from my library, which would be a per-requisite for me to actually read it, I will first it/third it, whatever. Part of the reason I try to participate is to get myself out of my comfort zone, this ought to be sufficient. I will try to get some links and a description later unless someone beats me to it.
As for Harry Potter, they were banned or at least challenged all over the place because ... reasons.

The most prominent objections to Harry Potter fall into three categories: they promote witchcraft; they set bad examples; and they're too dark.
