If the Gilbert folks

support the books, there has to be something positive in their favour.

Try Something New

If the 'Gilberts' support Ms. Rowling's work, then one would have to work hard to present an argument against them. Catholic supporters of Chesterton's works have been, in my experience, truly intelligent, faithful Catholic Christians, not easily mislead by things and certainly intelligent enough to determine if something is harmful or will undermine the faith of those who read it. Perhaps it is time for the critics to actually read the books. They may not be to their taste (not every book in every genre is to everyone's taste) but they may find that they're not evil, nor are they the first step on the 'slippery slope'...
