I am a Christian - who attends church regularly, and very involved in church (missions team, children's ministries, women's ministries), l am raising my child in the Christian Faith, and so forth and so on...We (me and my child) are also BIG fans of Harry Potter movies. No one at church has taken me aside to say we shouldn't, however, a very dear friend of mine who has 4 kids rushes right out to take her kids to see the Pirates of the Carribean movies (which I love too) that are full of violence and re-animated DEAD people, with strong sexual overtones, etc and so forth and so on - but she mentioned the other day how her kids could NEVER see Harry Potter movies or read those books since it's all filled with witchcraft!
I couldn't believe it. Do I want my child growing up to practice magic/witchcraft, etc? NO. But do I think that my kid (a preteen) can tell the difference between a movie for entertainment and what she believes? Absolutely.
She knows Harry movies are fiction..
