I'm a Christian. I also happen to be a huge Harry Potter fan. And I have a question:
All you people who say that because Harry Potter is about magic and witchcraft and the occult (without having ever read it), and is therefore evil, do you allow your children to watch The Wizard of Oz? Do you like Tolkein's Lord of the Ring series, with Gandalf being a wizard?
Why is the Wicked Witch of the West, who kidnaps, threatens and plans to kill a child and her puppy to get a pair of shiny shoes, okay, but Harry Potter is not?
It's not like, in the Harry Potter series, they choose to be witches or wizards or not. It's presented as a natural "talent". Hogwarts, in that respect, is not that different than the school run by the X-Men in the comic series, who train youngsters to harness their powers for the benefit of everyone.
So what's the deal? Why jump on the "Harry Potter is the DEVIL" bandwagon without finding out more, and without banning ALL witches and wizard stories?
