ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Harry Potter can breathe a bit easier these days -- the evil Lord Voldemort may still have it in for the boy wizard, but the lawyers, preachers and family groups seem ready to give it a rest.

With the arrival of author J.K. Rowling's fifth novel, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," set for Saturday, opposition to the orphan with the lightning-bolt scar and the high-performance broomstick is muted.

The last time Rowling released a book -- 2001's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" -- Harry became a target of many Evangelical Christians who said the series of children's novels spawned an unhealthy appetite for witchcraft and the occult.
