Oh yeah. Esq posted about this somewhere else on the forum. I read the whole thing. She's doing a horrible disservice to her children and to her fellow Christians. Did she even read the books? I don't think she did...

Perhaps Jesus should whisper in her ear that Ms. Rowling knows a lawyer or six...

How sad that Harry Potter, as written, is taboo for her children. What does that say about their faith? Swayed by J.K. Rowling...I see homeschooling in these children's future.

WTF is wrong with you, America? I mean, Italy is the Vatican's lackey, but seriously the most we get are pro-lifers and homophobes... I hate to admit it, but we're lucky to have so many Catholics. At least they are rational (well, to an extent).

Rewrite harry potter? I kind of am interested what she will change in a book that is entirely about stuff completely rejected by the bible? Maybe Voldemort is the devil and harry is the son of Michael or Gabriel, but what about Dumbledore? Is there a bearded character like that in the Bible? Hmm, maybe he becomes Moses...

Hobson's choice
*bites tongue* lol 
We're lucky *compared to the US*
The Catholic church costs around 6 billion Euros to Italian taxpayers, so it's pretty shitty anyways... Especially in times like these.
At least we don't get the fundies!
