I'll leave my sentiments on the HP phenomenon to myself, only to point out that I'd expect few children to believe that a bit of hocus-pocus with a wand will give them supernatural powers.
The stranger truth is that, many adults seem to think that by following a certain set of formulas in doctrine and practice, wealth, health and total freedom from temporal suffering is assured to them, while those who are not similarly blessed are like Muggles who have not the faith in this "magic". Even worse, others are into the thinking that the combination of God's love and faith is barely sufficient for eternal life, and that to be assured of such, one must practice every ritual and act prescribed in the old rulebook that has already been superceded, as well as forsake any habit, preference or thought that could be remotely be regarded as having the power to deny one entry through the pearly gates. If this be not bewitchement, I know not what it is.
