The Russian inquiry into whether the Harry Potter novels promote religious hatred has concluded that they don't.
An investigation was launched after claims the books "contained signs of religious extremism".

There were also claims they were "drawing students into religious groups of a Satanic type".

Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, said they had found no basis for opening a criminal case.

Link Discuss

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
