Catholic priests from northern Poland burned a number of books they considered "sinners", including the famous Harry Potter series.
According to the BBC website, the group, known as SMS, a branch of the Paradise Foundation, has posted Facebook fire images of books in the city of Kushalin.
There was also a statue of Phil and a tribal mask burning on the books.
The group justified the burning of books by quotations from the Bible condemning magic, and the group sends Christian messages via SMS.
"Many of those who practiced magic collected their books and burned them in front of everyone, so they calculated their value and found 50,000 pieces of silver," says an excerpt from the Acts of the Apostles quoted in the publication of the group on Facebook.
The Harry Potter books of British author JK Rowling are considered the most popular fiction in history, with over 500 million copies sold worldwide.
Some Christians object that novels take magic at the center of stories, while Harry Potter fights the evil embodied by Lord Voldemort's dark wizard.
The conservative government of law and justice in Poland adopts traditional Catholic values and the Church exerts a considerable influence on Polish society.
