Laura Mallory...or Lucius Malfoy?

This woman really hates Harry. Ugh, she's like a case of genital warts--just doesn't really go away.

A Loganville mother who claims Harry Potter books promote wickedness and witchcraft said she will appeal the state's decision to allow the best-selling books to remain in Gwinnett school libraries.

Laura Mallory, who has three children in elementary school, said Wednesday she has requested an appeal of her case to Gwinnett Superior Court.

"I really feel like they haven't addressed all the issues that I've raised," Mallory said after the state board decision in December.
Let's recall what those "issues" are that she raised:

"There are so many problems facing our children today — drugs, alcohol, violence and the growth of the occult, too. These books are helping to mainstream witchcraft. These books are dangerous and harmful to our children."
"I am a Christian. I feel that Christian rights are being abolished in this country. Everyone talks about our views being pushed on them. But what about our beliefs? Don't we have any rights at all?"
[T]hey be replaced by C.S. Lewis’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series or Tim LaHaye’s “Left Behind: the Kids” series.
Yep. Anyway, she's all hyped up (from the first article):

Mallory said Wednesday she's ready for a legal fight. She said she's contacted a potential expert witness to lend support to her case. And she said supporters who urged her to press on have sent her "significant donations" to help pay legal fees.
An expert witness? Oh really? This should be interesting indeed.

This woman is like a literary dementor trying to suck the joy out of reading.
