LONDON - Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has become a hate figure to Christian evangelicals in the United States since she outed master wizard Albus Dumbledore as gay.
She told a New York audience recently that Potter's head teacher was in love with rival wizard Gellert Grindelwald.

Talk shows in the US Bible Belt in the South have condemned her, websites have reviled her, and newspaper letter columns have been filled with complaints, reported the Daily Mail.

Roberta Combs, president of the two-million-strong Christian Coalition of America, said: 'It's disappointing that the author would have to make one of the characters gay.

'It's not a good example for our children, who really like the books and the movies. I think it encourages homosexuality.'

Jack M. Roper on TV evangelist Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, which also called for a ban on Rowling's book, said on Saturday: 'Harry Potter, an orphaned witch, is one hero who has captured the innocent heart of many children.

'When such a hero uses evil as a problem-solving tool, we need to be warned. Over time, the child can become adapted to the dark world of witchcraft and not even know that it is dangerous.'
