A private Catholic school in Nashville has removed the Harry Potter books from its library, saying they include “actual curses and spells, which when read by a human being risk conjuring evil spirits”. The widely loved series depicting the magical adventures of a young wizard and his friends have been removed from the Roman Catholic Parish school’s book collection because of its content, a pastor at the school wrote in an email, reported Tennessean. “These books present magic as both good and evil, which is not true, but in fact a clever deception. The curses and spells used in the books are actual curses and spells; which when read by a human being risk conjuring evil spirits into the presence of the person reading the text,” the Reverend Reehill wrote, apparently in all seriousness.
