This whole Harry Potter = evil debacle is even more hilarious when one
realizes that it all began with an article from the satirical website The
Onion. In fact, many opponents STILL distribute printouts of the article,
found here: http://www.theonion.com/onion3625/harry_potter.html (with all
references to it's source removed). It's a reminder of just how blindly some
folk will follow half-baked e-mail forwards they receive.

The trouble is that logic has nothing to do with it - all those Harry Potter
objections are about some eejit getting the wrong end of the stick
(deliberately or otherwise), making a lot of noise (empty vessel) with the
inevitable consequence that loads of others jump on the bandwagon. As you point
out, the hypocrisy of their stance is laughable.
