No. It is not a crime.
The name of the school in the series is 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. Reading the books is not witchcraft, but it is a large part of the plot.

Worshiping Nyx is not considered Witchcraft alone. You are simply worshiping Nyx. If you wish to practice witchcraft research it before aligning yourself with any deities (i.e. Gods/Goddesses).

The character Harry Potter is stupid LOL.
People often thought any women who could read and write, who had had an education, or participated in anything that was strange or unusual was considered witchcraft. An interest in botany was considered witchcraft. Any strange happenings that could not be explained would be blamed as witchraft. Women were thought of as sadistic, lustful, decietful, and untrustworthy, and seduction was sometimes a cause for witch burnings.
The proper name for witchcraft is Witchcraft with a capital "W."
Yes , in the Bible , witchcraft is utilised many times in the Old and New Testaments to edify God - in modern day Christianity , the very same practices of Old would be branded as "Evil".
