The only thing Harry Potter books promote is the joy of reading to a generation of children and adults who would rather watch TV.
If witchcraft is opening the mind to other ideas and then researching them we need more books like Harry Potter.

I do not believe Harry Potter Books Support witchcraft. They are entertainment and that is as far as it goes!

I don't believe that. The Harry Potter books promote fantasy and imagination. They don't mention anything about real witchcraft and are just something to read.

i think of that maximum pagans or witches, or everybody that quite believes in witchcraft, could agree that Harry Potter isn't a real representation of what they suspect. As a Christian, i hit upon it confusing to have self belief that folk difficulty relating to the contents of a fictional tale while there are actual examples of evil interior the international popular. My little ones and that i admire the books as a type of entertainment and that's all. i've got self belief they are extra suitable to study and watch than maximum issues that are seen popular. i could quite have my little ones examining the hot e book the following day than observing the dirt shown popular on MTV! God Bless.

Oh, don't be such a prat.
These books do nothing to insult God or Christianity. They are nothing like Wicca or something. And hey, It is called FICTION. If you actually read the book, you would know that.
I am a believer of God and HP fan and I think anyone who says it promotes witchcraft is just ignorant.

Does it really matter? It is a harmless story that pleases children to take a magical trip in a land that never was and gives a boy and his friends the power to confront wrong-doings. Is it really different from Cinderella, or Snow White. Both are based on magic and witchcraft...and both are filled with symbology, perhaps even moreso than Harry Potter. Compare the apple of Snow White to the legend of Eve but with a different connotation, or the glass slipper of Cinderella being compared to the Holy Grail. Are they harmful? No, and neither is Harry Potter.

They do not promote witchcraft. It is a fantasy, and I think that everyone who reads the books understands that. I think that Harry Potter books promote imagination, and I think they are wonderful because they have inspired so many to read for pleasure.

That is absurd. None of the Harry Potter books pomote witchcraft. They were originally bed time stories she told her children. In no way does she even refer in her books to what real witchcraft is all about. This is just fantasy writing. You know.... not true. If you knew anything about real witchcraft you would not be asking such a question. I suggest you do some research about real witchcraft and it's different types. Not all witchcraft is used for evil or wrongdoing.

Depends how you interpret witchcraft. The books are, after all, children's stories and should be read as such.
True witchcraft consist of either herbal remedies or wicked thoughts meant to create disadvantage to someone. Most tales of witchcraft were invented in the Middle Ages as an excuse for the Catholic church to persecute non-conformists and any old and ugly woman was fair game especially if she had a pet. many were cruelly executed and tortured purely because they were ugly or a neighbour's milk turned sour.
