People around at the time, was the 'religious' hysteria around Harry Potter a big deal? (lemm.ee)

I've heard some people place a lot of the responsibility for Harry Potter becoming popular at the altar of the US Christian Right. Considering their wealth, reach and influence it seems plausible to me!

What's your recollection of that era?

The news made a deal of it, but being surrounded by religious people, I didn't hear one real person have a problem with it.
