Banned Book Week is September 30th to October 6th, and since I am participating in Donna's event to help bring awareness to this ridiculousness that some dork began, oh, I don't know ages ago, I'll post one challenged book everyday in no particular order until the event ends.
Harry Potter (series) by J.K. Rowling
Reason: Challenged for 'beliefs that anything that
mentions a witch or a magic spell is equated with evil.'
Harry Potter thinks he
is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and
cousin Dudley, who make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. Then
Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed for
ever. He is whisked away by a beetle-eyed giant of a man and enrolled in
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is
a wizard!
