I know this is going on a bit and a little off topic, but my mum can confirm
that the opposition to Harry Potter being filmed in Gloucester Cathedral
consists of a middle-aged couple connected with the Elim Pentecostal church
in Gloucester (typical for a Pentecostal church, it's based in an old
cinema...) who are against the books and the film because sorcery is
forbidden in Deutronomy 18, v9-10 (apologies if that's wrong, I'm hardly an
expert) and they can't allow something forbidden by God to be filmed in a
Cathedral.
So far they are the only opposition, and they've written a stern letter to
the Dean of the Cathedral (who disagrees, and thinks the books are great),
Warner Bros and Bloomsbury...
