So some other bloggers have also touched on Harry Potter from a Muslim perspective:
Firstly, there is Arafat at Anthology (who has been on my blogroll for a good long while now... *cough*... hint, hint... *cough*) with two entries:
Orientalism: Alive and Kicking, Harry Potter Style and Harry Potter's Bangladeshi Date
And then there is Reformist Muslim with Muslims At Hogwarts???
And finally, if you are still intrigued by this whole idea of watching movies for their political content and not just for their visceral entertainment value, I also found reviews for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the Maoist Internationalist Movement's Movie Review Page.

To let you know, I've been "religiously" following Harry Potter books and movies...your 'take' along with that of Arafat, was refreshingly funny...
Glad to know, I wasn't alone :D
Its compilations like these that make me return to Planet Grenada
Glad you liked the links.
