I really like reading Harry Potter books. It's not easy to find good books to read. But how is it that Harry Potter is sinning against God? I never think it refers to sin against God or have anything to do with God.

I don't think liking fiction necessarily is a sin. Some books are obscene -- it would be against the counsel of the Bible to indulge in those.
I myself really liked the first Potter stories. The last one I saw was not quite as funny and more on the -- children not allowed to see scary stuff. Since I am a child at heart, I worry that the next ones to come will follow this unfortunate trend.
Dragons, fantasy stories can be both entertaining and hilarious. One should be careful to keep in mind about witchcraft though how their incantations are made to work so as not to have young minds enticed by this.
Realize that these spells / incantations are words said that supposedly have power! Where is this power coming from?
These spells therefore are prayers or like prayers and are heard by some higher power who listens to them and make them executes these.
For this reason, though the fiction is fun, the reality is bound up in demon worship. That is why the God of the Bible forbade this practice.

I would have to say that the whole Evil Harry Potter idea was the best in the entire history of all publishing. Never since Geutenberg invented the printing press has there been a more profitable campain. The best part of it is that all of that publicity was free for the publishing company--paid for by people that didn't even read the book.
Not only did the mundy-fundies that came up with the whole thing fail miserably, I dare say that they HELPED J.K Rawling to become the richest author ever!

Firstly only a few religions believe magic is bad and they are almost all Monotheist faiths. I am a Celtic Pagan and like most Pagan faiths mine accepts magic as a fact of life. Having said that,even if I thought of magic as evil Harry Potter is fictional.The spells in the books don't work. And are Christian children really so stupid that reading a fictional story will make them worship Satan?

As far as I'm concerned, there's no verse or rule in Christianism that states that you can't read fiction. Just because Harry Potter mumbles incantations doesn't make it anti-Christ. Saying that liking Harry Potter is against God's will is like saying Snow White should be banned because her stepmother is a witch.

Remember, Satan's tactics are very clever. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says how he transforms himself into an angel of light. In other words, he makes wicked things seem okay to dull your conscience. Then it's on to other forms of entertainment that deals with the occult like palm reading or horoscopes, etc.
I think it's best to stay away completely. I say if you have to ask, the answer is no. If you talk yourself out of following your gut, you will find yourself in deep doo-doo. James 1:14-15

There is nothing in the books about praising God. And look at what Jesus said about this.
(Matthew 12:30) He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.

No way! It's fantasy for cryin' out loud! God gave us an imagination and creativity. I don't see writing or reading a story about some kids in a magic story as being all that evil.

Ignore what religion tells you and just ask God. If you have a truly personal relationship with Him, he will answer your question and guide your decisions.

If your simply reading for pleasure, I'm sure He's not going to have an objection. When you begin to read to follow the basis of witchcraft and wizardry, that is where you start to have problems.
