Harry Potter Books Banned

Ever since becoming popular, the Harry Potter series has been among the most frequently challenged books, as measured by the American Library Association.

While the series has been welcomed by many parents and teachers for getting children interested in reading, not to mention being a good story, others feel that the series presents dangerous ideas and attitudes that are bad for readers. 

In some parts of the United States and United Kingdom, the Potter books have been banned from being read in school, taken out of libraries, and even burned in public.

The most prominent objections to Harry Potter fall into three categories: they promote witchcraft; they set bad examples; and they're too dark.
