When I started to read the Harry Potter books, the only anti-Potter info i came across was written by Protestants. These wackos were also against The Lord of the Rings, so I felt fine completely ignoring anything they had to say & in general I have a tendency to ignore the advice of Protestants anyway.

Ignoring Protestants is a good policy.

However, to not ignore modern liberal, adulterous, heretical, anti-Catholic woman for entertainment is a bigger problem I think.

That is an important consideration, people will disregard sources which oppose their own choices. We would be safe to have a standard which is universally applied.

I understand that & it is certainly clear in regards to Rowling, but if I applied that to movies, music & literature, I would be left with very little.
Eg. Charles Dickens was a Prot who left his wife & 10 children & took a mistress. Apparently his wife was too plain/simple. So, adulterous, heretical.
Wilde had a Catholic death, but his life apparently wasn't. Adulterous?
Wodehouse wasn't Catholic either. Heretical.
Most of the Russian writers were either non-Catholic or anti-Catholic. Adulterous, Heretical, anti-Catholic.
Where to draw the line? Just avoid the rabid anti-Catholics?
Can you see how I got into that mess?

No idea why my screen shows Charles Dickens with a bunch of #### through it.

It's done it again!
Is that some sort of censoring software at work?
