Protests against Potter Filming


The Telegraph is reporting that a local Christian group is upset over the filming of Harry Potter in the local Cathedral:
PROTESTERS gathered outside Gloucester Cathedral yesterday as scenes from the J K Rowling book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers' Stone, were filmed inside.
The cloisters and crypt have become the Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, upsetting a local Christian group who complained that the cathedral was no place for a story about magic, sorcery and witchcraft. But the Dean of Gloucester, the Very Rev Nick Bury, defended his decision to allow filming saying that good always triumphed in the books. He added: "The Cathedral will make a stunning backdrop."
