風靡全球的哈利波特系列從問世起就一直受到宗教人士的各種責難，最近，作者JK羅琳女士又受到一次“最高級別”的批評。剛登基的羅馬新教皇本尼迪克特十六世（Benedict XVI）公開批評羅琳的哈利波特系列“傷害了基督教的靈魂”。外電報道如下：Pope Benedict believes the Harry Potter books subtly seduce young readers and "distort Christianity in the soul" before it can develop properly, according to comments attributed to him by a German writer.
Gabriele Kuby, who has written a book called "Harry Potter - Good or Evil," which attacks J.K. Rowling's best-selling series about the boy wizard, published extracts from two letters written to her by Benedict in 2003, when he was a cardinal.
Kuby, a devout Catholic, had sent him a copy of her Potter critique and he wrote to thank her, according to a passage from one of the letters published in German on her Web site.
"It is good that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because these are subtle seductions which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly," Benedict wrote, according to the excerpt.
Devout表示“虔敬的，誠懇的，獻身于宗教的”，例如：a devout supporter（熱誠的支持者）；devout wishes for their success（衷心地希望他們成功）。
綽號叫“上帝的托特威爾犬”的新教皇約瑟夫·拉青格（Joseph Ratzinger）來自德國，他認為哈利波特童話故事的背后隱藏著狡猾的誘惑，它一直未被人們注意，但卻直接影響了孩子的心靈。“當這些基督教的靈魂還未完全成長之前，就已經受到了它的破壞。”
