If I had to guess, I would say around 2%.
(I just plucked that number out of the unknown. LOL)
...Considering the lack of adults who read the Bible I would venture to say there are alot less kids!
And contrary to popular opinion, I don't believe in sheltering children to the point where they are completely cut off from worldly things --- i.e. Harry Potter.
Harry Potter represents alot of things: Sorcery/Divination, Magic & Myths...etc...
However, God even uses things such as this, to make us think. I personally believe that 'fictional' movies such as this cause a person to evaluate their own beliefs. While it's true that sometimes things like this negatively influence us, I think the opposite is true also.

I read the Bible. And I read it more everyday. I have never read a Harry Potter novel. Though I love the movies, especially the last one.
If there are any Christians that tell me not to see that movie again, I'm going to the first show tomorrow. That's how I work, I think that most movies are for entertainment, and I am not going to them for scriptural exegesis typically.
That's whty I went to see Sin City. I was told that it was not a Christian movie. Legalists are typically funny, but they are actually a shame to hear when they speak.

As a work of fiction, Harry Potter is so much more entertaining. The authors of the Bible should have paid more attention to plot and pacing.

I didn't realise that was a requirement.
But, Im not a kid, and I've never read a Harry Potter book.

I have studied through the Bible a few times with my daughter. I will not permit Harry Potter into my home. She is home schooled, so she doesn't get the opportunity to read the satanic books.

The Bible is unsuitable for children. Parts of it are OK with parental supervision but in general it is far too violent and nasty. Wait til they are older for reading such stuff.

There are some parts of the bible that you wouldn't want children reading until they are much older.

If their parents read the Bible, they would not allow Harry Potter in their house--witches were to be stoned to death!
Satan is coming with all signs and wonders, and we will experience real supernatural things that will deceive the very elect, according to Jesus.
That is why He sends a bible code to reveal Antichrist. Select: http://abiblecode.tripod.com

How many kids or adults read the Bible at all? Shockingly, it isn't as much as should be.
