Eto pala take ni Pope Benedict XVI tungkol dyan sa HP:
On March 7, 2003, Ratzinger wrote a letter to congratulate German writer Gabriele Kuby on her book, Harry Potter; Gut oder böse? ("Harry Potter; Good or evil?", ISBN 3-928929-43-7), about the literary phenomenon of Harry Potter, a popular series of books about a young student of magic. Kuby's book meant to prove that the Harry Potter books would "corrupt" the religious spirit of young generations and prove false the rumours that Pope John Paul II liked the series.
Cardinal Ratzinger wrote that "[it is a] very informed book [...] It is good that you, esteemed and dear Mrs. Kuby, enlighten the people about Harry Potter, because there are subtle seductions, that act unconsciously, deeply distorting Christianity in the soul, before it can properly grow". Kuby later asked permission to make this flattering judgement public, which was granted.
