They aren't stupid nor do they believe Harry Potter books can summon evil spirits. As usual, it's about money and power. Any form of media that antagonizes christianity must be eliminated. Same goes for media that depict women as equal to men. The church can't burn books en masse or imprison people theses days, but they can scare oblivious parents into taking away "problematic" media from their children.
The church is afraid of the newer generations because they are less loyal and won't contribute the same amount of money older generations did. They are also afraid of losing their power over people, especially women.

This is great publicity, and will boost her sales numbers.
Methinks the catholic church will receive a nice donation from her.
removes conspiracy hat.
As stated, pastor is probably going to be retired, or used as proof the evil spirits have possessed him due to reading past his bedtime.
Several Christian Fringe groups do believe the bible and take it literally. So no surprise that they read other books the same way. It has been written, so it must be true.
Catholicism specifically forbids a literal interpretation of the Genesis

Wow! Hard core. To call Catholicism a fringe group.

Well, maybe it is time that they lost their institutional power and their beliefs had no basis in law and government.

But this isn't the Church as a whole, it's an individual priest. This type of corruption only works when there are lots of people involved, rather than isolated individuals

Correct, but HP books in particular have been attacked many times before for similar reasons. Also a priest is still a representative of the catholic church. He knows that the only spell HP books can cast is "Scepticismus", which is a powerful money-depriving hex.

This thread is specifically about Catholicism. I didn't call Catholicism a fringe group, you did

Even if the series doesn't have real spells or ocult stuff, we can't forget that the author is one of those crazy Feminist Liberals. So on that basis alone, the text of the fiction will have toxic or corrupting influences, if you're inclined to be Conservative or more traditional.

The worst thing we can accuse the woman of is not understanding the Death Of The Author and thinking her opinions on the setting still matter.
