Israel
The Arabic version of the Harry Potter series is banned in Israel, reports The Black Iris, from Jordan. According to news sources, the ban is based on a decree from 1939 - when the area was under British mandate - prohibiting the importation of books from countries that are at war with Israel.
It is Israel now.
