It had to happen. From Dark Horizons: UK's The Citizen newspaper reports that protesters are preparing to picket Gloucester Cathedral if plans to shoot the live-action film version of the children's novels goes ahead there as proposed. Seems some outraged churchgoers are "fiercely opposed to any portrayal of 'witchcraft'" and have been quoting passages from the book of 'Deuteronomy' to reporters. Nevertheless they're not united in their views, take the cathedral's Dean for example who sees it as a great opportunity: "Gloucester Cathedral is a particularly atmospheric place and the cloisters must be among the most exciting and beautiful architectural gems in Europe. The Cathedral will make a stunning backdrop for parts of the story". Nevertheless local Paula Clare is adamant in her views: "We dispute the view of the Dean, who thinks only 'one or two Christians are upset. The question is not what man thinks, even a man who calls himself a Christian  it's what God thinks that really matters." Well, Ms. Clare, did the Divine Being tell you what He or She thinks of the Potter books?
