I can't find anything about Harry Potter that could make anyone uneasy other than the Nazi Wizards, the Mudblood Department of the Ministry of Magic that interrogates people to check if they are pure-blooded enough for their standards and the pink Tatcher-like woman who tortures children.
I mean, when you have that in the film, how can anything else make you uneasy?

I know people think this is a smart thing to say. The Bible is not fiction... I'm not saying it's true either but when a nomadic people write down their history the best they can but it's still filled with all kinds of "the fish gets larger the more you tell the story" type situations it's pretty ridiculous to call it fiction. There is a lot of important history in that book. obscured sure, but important none the less. Even on the surface you can learn the broad strokes of what happened in that area at those times. The Bible, as a book, is more complicated then these types of views reveal.
I don't think that it is a particular smart thing to say, I'm just stating a fact.
The HP books talk about computers, cars, things that do exist, that doesn't really make them non-fiction material. Although some things in the Bible did ocurred, that doesn't stop the rest of it being fiction or not historically accurate.
Look, we all know it feels funny around the belly to sometimes be scared of monsters and ghosts, but most left that behind with childhood.
Look, Cloudy, Rowling wants to make Christians uncomfortable, especially conservative American Christians (I read that in an interview once) but what she doesn't understand is that other people have succeeded way more than she ever has. There are far more offensive things to the Christians mindset than some fictional tale about Wizards.
Actually, the last book is a reach out to christians, unfortunately and unrelated with that, that book also sucks balls.

"...the author, J. R. R. Tolkien, emphatically stated in his introduction to the second edition, "It is neither allegorical nor topical.... I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence."
Bold mine.
