    When Harry Potter first started to become popular, I seem to remember a church minister in Inverness warning parents not to let their children read Harry Potter because it was "Devil worship" or some such nonsense. Yes, there are grown adults who actually believe that. Some years previously another church minister in Scotland had said that Yoga was "Devil worship."
