I'll agree that when reading the books in retrospect at a slightly older age, they're nowhere near as good as most people say they are, even if I still love them. Some of the things J.K Rowling planned out are proclaimed "genius" and people say stuff like "Oh my God it all fits in, she's some magical writing godess!" whereas I'm like "No... she planned it, like most authors would".
But argh, I hate it when people accuse the story on Christian values. The only way Harry Potter was ever harmful to children was the heartbreaking despair upon turning 11 and not receiving a letter. I actually think the protagonist trio makes for pretty good role models.
