hey there australian politics major, i'm an australian politics major. gawd, the people you run across in fandom, hey? :)
do you know, i had no idea that most aussie women voted Lib. (although, it seems that everyone is voting Lib these days. sigh.) i forget how overwhelmingly big 'L' liberal this country is becoming (but then, that probably comes from attending perth's leftiest uni and mixing with all small 'L' liberals!)

as for the witchcraft thing, i don't think that is actually much of a factor, really. i know there is a section of the christian community that believes that satan works through the boy with the lightning bolt scar; but there is such a strong tradition in children's literature of telling stories about witches, wizards and magic that most people are pretty blasé about the magic in potterverse.
i'm thinking it's mainly just a net thing. most conservatives i know don't like the internet; it gives them the heebie-jeebies :)
