Harry Potter angers Zionist regime

The date set for the launch of the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has angered the Zionist officials.
The date of synchronized worldwide launch of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has angered the officials of the Zionist regime.
The bespectacled British teenager who has magical powers has triggered the latest religious controversy in Israel.
The latest and last installment of the massively popular series is to be launched at 2:01 a.m. local time this Saturday which falls on the Jewish Sabbath, when the Israeli law requires business to be closed.
Sabbath is day of "rest and worship" in Judaism.
With Israelis already clamoring for "Deathly Hallows'' many bookstores are planning to launch the book on time anyway. That has drawn fire from the Orthodox Jewish lawmakers, including Industry and Trade Minister Eli Yishai, who threatened to fine any store that opens Saturday.
Avraham Ravitz of the United Torah Judaism Party slammed the Potter books for their "defective messages.''
"We don't have to be dragged like monkeys after the world with this subculture, especially when it violates our holy Sabbath,'' Ravitz said in a statement.
