Not surprised. Lynch mobs and books/movies have been happening since long before the Internet and Harry Potter.
How about "The Exorcist"? People were in an uproar over that one. In rare cases, the uptights attempted to take the children of readers of that book. Come to think of it, my mother did tell me that I couldn't read that one until I was in at least 7th grade. Having later read the book, I think that decree was because she knew I was curious and had access to fathers and nuns at the time. I was going to a Catholic School.
To the OP: yes people can be idiots at times when it comes to anything that goes against their beliefs.
