The bible talks specifically about witchcraft/similar and condemns those who practice it. However, the bible does not say that your salvation rests on what type of entertainment you enjoy.
I simply do not like Harry Potter because of the combination of appeal to young children and of the 'magic' in it. It could cause curiousity in children, and later, it could cause them to look into the *real* stuff- new age movement, wicca, etc...
However, reading and enjoying the books for the fiction that they are isn't inherantly sinful.
