People around at the time, was the 'religious' hysteria around Harry Potter a big deal? (lemm.ee)

I've heard some people place a lot of the responsibility for Harry Potter becoming popular at the altar of the US Christian Right. Considering their wealth, reach and influence it seems plausible to me!

What's your recollection of that era?

There were people who got bent out of shape about Harry Potter, but there are always those people. It happened with D&D and Doom as well.

There seems to be people in the world who really need something to be upset about.
