Hi Mary Anne,
Well I'll give you a very different perspective on it....
The folks who are the most afraid, incensed or intolerant of witches, warlocks, sorcerers etc. - usually have been practicioners of same in some past life(lives).
If we look at the frequency bit again (Oh no I didn't heed the warning!) we see that things that get us riled up and emotional beyond the 'normal' parameters means we have stored in our structures some sort of feedback occurs when these imbalanced waves find a frequency match.
So to a conservative/libertarian like Tom for instance (sorry to single you out Tom ;-) - Harry Potter, may seem unthreatening and trivial.
Whereas I find the subject and attunement a bit discomforting - not offensive - but discomforting.
The difference in the reactions will be based upon differing pasts. While I have not dealt with Witches or Warlocks more than an occasional 1990 Nick-at-nite "Bewitched" marathon, and I doubt Tom has had much more experience either, the pasts, going back further may be dynamically different.
Anyone who has been accused of witchcraft or sorcery and burned at the stake for instance - might very well react very strongly against a Harry Potter book.
Why? You ask. Shouldn't they be sympathetic to such?
Not necessarily.
In this life - due to the severely traumatic past life experiences - they may now make a conscious effort to fit in and be very conforming to whatever 'codes' and mores may be in effect. The fear of what may result from standing out negatively, lurks inexplicably in their sub-conscious.
These folks may become bible thumping conservatives and may point at others with an accusing finger so as to make sure no one has the time to look closely at them.
Fear of ostracism and a repeat of the past often makes people do a 180 -degree about face. The persecuted can often become the persecutors. The criminal, the policeman and vice-versa.
When one understands that both sides are simply polar opposites of the SAME SIGNAL - one understands why the cops must always hang around robbers, the prisoners with the guards, the psychologists with the disturbed, the doctors with the sick....etc...etc...etc.
They are learning to achieve balance by expressing both sides of the wave form.
Scientifically it works like this:
Say I am burned at the stake in 1613.
That experience is stored in a quantized field, each thought - each agonizing pain registered is stored at a certain frequency. The sum of these experiences and thoughts and the intense energy with which they made an impression in my structures when averaged out create a fundamental harmonic chord.
This chord contains all these signals and wave forms, and sub-harmonic wave forms which exist in the larger waves.
Now, in 2002 I look at a Harry Potter book and I see the black hat and robes - and the frequency these things exist with and represent - suddenly resonate in-phase with already pre-existing signals.
Sub-consciously, the memories of being burned at the stake have been reached. The black robes being the focal point, triggering this attunement - as the accusers wore such as they passed judgement back in 1613.
My conscious mind merely may not know why looking at the book makes me queasy or unsettled, however the sub-conscious is highly agitated.
The reactions could be the opposite as well, depending on what I needed to learn and balance.
I might find Harry Potter books extremely compelling, collect every one and decorate my house with posters and what-have-you related to Harry Potter.
Both reactions are imbalanced. Looking at the book should bring no more an emotional response than looking at Webster's Dictionary.
So to get back to your question... ;-)
Some conservatives who have a compelling need to burn Harry Potter books and forsake anything related to magic or supernatural forces have indeed usually been involved with the same - and usually in some negative manner.
They may fear these things and justify their fear or dislike through religious tenets - but in the end a person's emotion is the telltale sign.
One can understand something is less intelligent or lower - and not hate it or feel compelled to destroy it. No one needs to destroy all the issues of Hitler's Mein Kampf or Marx's Communist Manifesto, but merely realize they are the product of a certain mind at a certain time and leave it at that. Their presence in a library or anywhere need have no power over us.
The need to destroy is based on an imbalanced past.
So if you are surrounded by magic-phobic conservatives, Mary Anne - my advice would be to look real closely at what is going on. I think that you and the phobics are both trying to achieve better balance on the issue.

*All scientists who dabbled with chemicals or probed into the workings of nature were often classified as a "sorcerer" prior to circa 1720. The industrial age had been delayed probably by 200-300 years during the dark ages and during the reformation, due to scientific losses by burning, hanging, torture and exile. 2002 Should really be technology-wise like 2200 or 2300.

- Library vandals know no religious affiliation in particular.
- I wish there was a way to identify them and make them pay,,,

- Tell us all about it, Mary Anne. That's why we're here.
