The Russian Prosecutor's Office has announced that it will not be pursuing a case against the publisher of the Harry Potter books.

The city Prosecutor's Office has looked into a complaint filed by the chairman of the Tarussa office of the International Foundation of Slavic Writing. The foundation maintained that the book entitled "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by Joanne Kathleen Rowling instilled religious extremism and prompted students to join religious organizations of Satanist followers. The probe revealed that there were no grounds for a criminal case, the Prosecutor's Office said.
