Quibble: Does 'Harry Potter' support the Occult?

A little while ago we reported about a Catholic preacher who created a series of YouTube videos explaining why the Harry Potter series was not an anti-Catholic text, but is it possible the books contain controversial symbolism nonetheless?

Quibble writer and MuggleNet fan Erin Hogan says no. With this new editorial she tackles sections of the series that many parents and academics have claimed are representative of the Occult and defends their moral value, one by one.
