I was reading a review by Plugged In, Focus On the Family. I was reading a review on the Harry Potter books, the seventh one specifically. The critic said that though the character development was great and the books themselves were good, that J.K.R. insisting on Love being her ultimate force instead of God makes them sinful or not wonderful books. He said that was what made the difference between Tolkien's and her books, but Tolkien didn't have God and Jesus in his books either.
I thought this was a bit contradictory. Further more, Rowlings books can be a wonderful parallel to Christianity if one is looking to make it into that. Harry always chooses good over evil and love over hate. I don't know, read the review if you want... http://www.pluggedinonline.com/articles/a0003326.cfm
and tell me what you think on the matter, but please, please, please..don't turn this into a a place where you generalize and say "All Christians are so closed minded..and so forth. Thanks guys!
