At least she says she is; she leans further and further to the left all the time, God bless her (literally...)

And she rolls her eyes every time the subject of fundamentalist objection to the Harry Potter books comes up. She loves them, has read all of them at least three times through, and has seen all of the movies. Heck, next month, I'm taking her to see "Harry Potter And The Sorceror's Stone" with the Seattle Symphony playing the musical score live.

She has pretty much turned her back on the church community she grew up with, due to their idiocy, provincialism, narrow-mindedness, and Trump-support.

That's why I liked it when the reporter wrote

"Most readers of Rowling’s novel – including many Christian readers — interpret the characters’ tutelage in spells and potions as harmless fantasy, or as metaphors for the development of wisdom and knowledge."
