Hey guys, Im just wondering whether any of you have heard of any protests to the books from the church or religeous groups as to its use of pentacles and demons?

That would be stupid... fantasy universe and all. No direct or, as far I can say, indirect references to religion.

Thats like those people who don't let their kids watch Harry Potter because of witches and wizards and magic.

Barti would have to get as popular as Harry Potter before attracting the attentions of nutters like that.

It would be really good publicity for Jon. Everyone reads banned books.

Where I live, 'ban' really means 'ban'. I have never seen a copy of the Satanic Verses.

Yeah.

But anything that gets popular usually becomes suddenly 'the source of all our problems.' Video games, TV, the computer, comic books, etc.

I'm suprised nobody has blamed underwear for the reason African kids are starving. :P

Are you sure? 'Cos Harry Potter was the #1 banned book and you get it. And I think James and the Giant peach and Lord of the Flies were second.

They just make a big deal about anything popular.

A bunch of people in the religious schools banned Potter in their system because it had magic in it.

Why would James and the Giant Peach be banned, and Lord Of The Flies?

I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

I have no idea, but Banned Books week was a while ago, and they had a list. Jo said she was honored to win and be up there with her favourite authors.

Nah, those are the good bits. It's the thought of a bunch of psychopathic kids with an island to themselves... I get visions of them invading us.

To those in doubt of Harry Potter's banning here's a reasonably accurate quote from the Simpsons:
(Flanders)
"And Harry Potter and all of his magical friends. . . went straight to hell for practicing wizardry!"
(Rod and Todd)
"Yay!
