Well I really couldn't disagree with you more. Firstly, the books do not promote witchcraft any more than Disney cartoons promote talking ducks. It's a fantasy setting.

As for homosexuality, read the books, there is no homosexuality in them at all so really the point is mute. Further more, there is nothing immoral about homosexuality.

The entire Potter books are about the struggle of good against evil and the importance of friendship and love. These are the real morals of the book and that's a message I totally support. The central characters have the courage to risk everything and risk their lives to save the world from evil. I have to say that's a message I whole-heartedly support. It's a good message for kids to hear.

I find your reaction to this news about a character exceptionally disappointing. What difference does it make is a person is gay? I believe in judging people by their actions not by stereotypes. If you think all gay people are immoral you have a very blinkered view of the world and one that doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.

As for mounting a campaign to sensor the books, I find that nothing short of tragic. There is real evil in this world that needs good people to fight it. If you want to dedicate your efforts to doing good then I'd suggest helping the needy and the hungry or trying to end war and suffering around the world might be a more useful use of your time an effort. That way you would actually be doing some good.

I'm sure you'll write me off as some form of evil so-and-so for not condemning homosexuality and for giving children enough credit to know the difference between reality and fantasy. I can't stop you judging me like that but if I'm right it saddens me immensely.
