Pope has problems with Harry Potter Series
Posted June 29, 2005 , By Joshua LeBlanc
Back in college I wrote a paper concerning the Harry Potter series of books from a pyschological standpoint. I’ve never been a fan of the books because I think they focus too much on fantasy instead of living in the real world, but apparently Pope Benedict has stated his disapproval of the series for theological reasons. The full article can be found here.

The Pope has said nothing about the Harry Potter books. While Ratzinger was a cardinal, he wrote a single short note thanking one particular anti-Potter author for sending him their book. There is no evidence that Ratzinger ever made a specific comment on any part of any Harry Potter book, and no evidence that Ratzinger had even read any of the books. This is an old story, and you should do some googling on it before claiming the Pope has said anything on the subject.
