I have a feeling the Pope never even read Harry Potter.

you think the pope would actually have to read the book to know that it promotes dirty devil black magick?
You're right, he wouldn't..my bad!
WHO GIVES A FLYING F*CK!!! I thought there were more important things going on, like world hunger and AIDS.............
Seems you thought wrong, eh? 
STOP PRESS...BREAKING NEWS....
Adolf Hitler Disapproved of Jews!
John Stewart got a great line in last night about this. Can't really remember it since I was drifting off to sleep after a long day at work last night.
"Extreme security measures have also been taken over the upcoming release of the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that will be released July 16th (which I have been eagerly anticpating for the past year just like every other pathetic kid my age). Stewart says that security is so tight that the people have been "sealing the crates with chains that have be opened with bold cutters -- OR MAGIC!" He then attempts to do a joke with the word 'Muggles' in it but instead squints at the teleprompter and says 'Mooglies'. The Potter fans in the audience snicker and Stewart looks up, confused. "Is this shit written for ten year olds? Oh, I'm sorry, it is".
Pope Benedict XVI also recently released a statement saying that the Potter books are "subtle seductions which act unnoticed and distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly". Stewart nods in agreement. "Yes... Who knows better how children can be subtly seduced --" He doesn't even need to finish the joke.
litty
no shit the Pope would disapprove of Harry Potter - it's witchcraft.
i'm pretty sure that witchcraft is kind of frowned upon by all Christians.
Just because its 'popular for kids' and it 'gets kids to read' does not all of a sudden make witchcraft OK.
LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BITCHES!
