U.S. Magistrate Don Bush denied James O'Connor's request Wednesday for a temporary restraining order to keep the party featuring the beloved fictional wizard from being held at the Plano, Tex., elementary school O'Connor's children attend, the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.
O'Connor, who filed the lawsuit Monday, asked for equal time for all religions if the Harry Potter party is held.
"Incrementally, we've been removing a lot of Judeo-Christian models in our culture, and I am concerned that incrementally they may be replaced by non-Christian models," O'Connor said.
The judge has not ruled on the overall lawsuit and must still decide if the school district was promoting a religion by having the party.
"It's about reading, not a religion," said Donna Winemiller, PTA president at Haggar Elementary School, where the event is set to be held in May.
