Aboud sent me this: "hope you are well. Someone should tell the Jerusalem Post that Saudi Arabia
does not ban Harry Potter books or movies. I read all the books and watched all
the DVDs while I was in Saudi Arabia from 2002 to 2008. The very morning of a
new book’s release, the lines at the cash registers at the Jarir Book Stores
would be crowded with Saudi girls or their relatives, with a hardcover of the
latest Harry Potter book in hand. These are the kind of subtle lies we have gotten used to seeing from
publications like the Jerusalem Post."
