Story here. This is apparently because of JKR's Twitter feud with the Trumpers, but the religious right has been down on Harry Potter for years, and I've never understood why. Every elementary school library in America is full of stories about wizards and witches and dragons and elves and sneetches and grinches and angels and devils and countless other things that never existed. What makes Harry Potter any different?
Trump supporters are burning Harry Potter books

I've not read any of the Potter books nor seen any of the movies nor am I a Trump supporter. Sometimes I call the colonel from M.A.S.H Harry Potter when it's actually Harry Morgan and Sherman Potter. Though I can't stand Alan Alda. What a putz.

Schools and libraries have had to fight to keep those books in place. People call all sorts of odd books and things evil. When I was in school, there were people that wanted to ban Hardy Boy books. Those books, if you don't know, were about two teenage boys solving crimes. There was no magic or witches or anything like that, but people wanted to ban the books because, in one book, it talked about forgery. The purple dinosaur that danced and sang to little kids and taught them to be nice to each other was claimed to be the devil personified. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were on the ban list. Some people have nothing better to do than try to create a fuss over nothing.
And why is that ever objectionable?
Whyever not? Of course he's a putz, but that's no good reason not to stand him.

Honestly.
How do political things get so convoluted. Was Harry Potter even able to vote? And did he vote for Trump?
The sillyness scale just went to 12.
Edited to add
And what was Emma Watson and that weird red headed kid doing at the time. We need answers people.

Well, my picture was from Monty Python - it's quite serious stuff, you know. I suggest you provide me a shrubbery now.

burning books - hasn't that all been done sooooo many times before? only good reason to burn a stack of books is to keep warm when there's nothing else left to burn and you'll end up a frigidbody if you didn't. yes, i've watched the day after tomorrow. if it was a case of only one or two books, you may as well die happy reading them
yeah, seems absolutely crazy. and scary.
i can't get enough of the films and reread the books frequently. there's so much visually to enjoy in revisiting the flmsSorry for you Hermione Granger muggle-born freakazoids and she's coo', but...Nymphadora Tonks all the way, babehs.
