St. Edwards Catholic School, a private Catholic school in Nashville, Tennessee, has decided to remove the Harry Potter series from its school library.

According to an email obtained by local Tennessee media outlet The Tennessean , Father Dan Leahil, the senior pastor of the Roman Catholic diocese in the area, said the book's removal was 'a decision he made after consulting with several exorcists in the United States and Rome. ”.

Also, regarding the reason for the removal, Father Leehill said, ``In the Harry Potter series, magic is drawn from both sides of good and evil, but this is a clever lie and is not true.The magic and spells used in the book are It's real.If a human reads this book, there is a danger that evil spirits will be summoned.'

Rebecca Hamel, principal of St. Edward's Catholic School, said: 'The Roman Catholic Church has not issued an official position on the Harry Potter series, so the final decision on how to handle the books rests with each Catholic school. It is entrusted to the school,' he said, indicating that this decision is within the school's autonomy.

In fact, this is not the first time that books from the Harry Potter series have been questioned in libraries. According to an announcement by the American Library Association , books in the Harry Potter series have been listed in the `` Top 10 Most Claimed Books '' for three consecutive years since 2001, and have been controversial for some time.

In the tweets of the American broadcasting station CBS News that reported this matter, tweets such as 'Is Nashville only in the 19th century?'



'Someone please remind me what the word 'fiction' means.'




'Dear Father Dan Leahil. Magic does not exist.'




A confused tweet has been sent, saying, ``If a human can read it, who else will read it!?''




Among them, there was a rather bitter tweet, saying, ``I forgot to regulate books that contain content that kills women, drags fetuses out of the mother's body and throws them against rocks.It's a book called the Bible.'' I could see it.
