Yeah, it is a shame, all these kids trying to mimic Harry Potter. There is an Elementary school near my Uni, and they have been flying their broom right into our lecture halls windows! All that evil magic. Flying like a bird, only with a broom between there legs. There mother flying in to pick them up. Yeah. Those kids sure love to imitate Harry Potter. They also killed our Mascot, a giant Snake!!! With just a sword and a magic wand!!! They imitate Harry Potter all the time, it is shameful.  :-\ :-\ Because, after all, Harry Potter is SO imitatable. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) More so then, say, Anything C.S. Lewis wrote.

Myself I think C. S. Lewis, was not a Christian when he wrote most of his trash.

Tibby you must be young, maybe 17 or 18. You need to be more grounded in the word of God.

Very good. 19, actually, and I think you already knew that. ;)

Jack Chick is the last person I want to get my word from. I want truth, not lies and dribble.

You think C.S. Lewis is “trash” and you spend your time with Jack Chick? Anyone else see the irony? I don’t think you are the best person to decide with is fine literature, and what is Trash. ::) And which books are "trash" to you?

P.S Jack Chick died a few years ago. He is now with the Lord.

I pray the same will be for you also.

A4C and Crusader – the epitome of ‘if you do it you’ll die’, ‘turn or burn’, ‘halfway to hell’ and ‘fleeing to the fire’ Christianity.  

Don’t get me wrong A4C and Crusader – I love you to death.  Woops – is “love you to death” also one of those phrases???

Love and Peace in Jesus brothers, Love and Peace in Him.

So, what book specifically do you not like? Can you even name one thing he wrote?

Dear God, let the topic die. LET! IT! DIE!

This whole topic is based on opinion. I don't agree with Crusader or A4C, nor do I think I ever will, because I've heard every argument and none of them convince me it's wrong. I'll take a guess and say that neither of you have read so much as a word J. K. Rowling has written, so your argument is based on nothing more than what you've heard from other anti-Potter sources. So I have this to say: Shut up about it. You sure don't have to read it, but don't judge those who do and say that they're sinning, because you have no foundation for anything like that.

Maybe if the Church would put out something other then this poorly written, dime store “Left Behind” dribble we have now, the kids would read Christian books. ;) Mr. Lahey hasn't gotten school childern to put their X-Box down so they can read, Mrs. Rowlings has. Give then kids a good Christian alterative, THEN, we will talk.

We should not ask, "What is wrong with the world?" for that diagnosis has already been given. Rather, we should ask, "What has happened to the salt and light?"

Ok, ok, so I broke down and clicked on the link. It was good for a laugh. Really, it looks like it was written by some self-righteous Christian who wants a little attention. I mean, making a whole video on why Harry Potter is evil? What a waste of plastic, time, effort, and life.

If you mean me thinking that a harmless, "evil" fantasy story is a good distraction from the truly evil things in the world, then yes, I do think that's good.

Yes, I’d rather see Sapph reading a book that you say is evil, even thought you can't show any proof that is it, then shooting up. Or any kid of that matter.

Pirates of the Caribbean has Magic, A4C, why is that different?

*snort*

No harm in Harry Potter.
No witchcraft either.

And I speak with knowledge on this one: as both an ex-pagan and a reader of the books.

Jack Chick's mediocre apologetics have been refuted enough, the man's known propensity for employing liars is hardly a recommendation of his comics and books. Which I've read, incidentally. They're good for a laugh.

Until I see reading or watching Harry Potter do any harm to any of God Children, your analogy to Harry Potter as a predator doesn’t carry any weight.

So? Sapphs post still stands. I have looked around, and I haven't seen Harry Potter doing any harm. I've seen some bad things, but these things where around before Harry Potter was even thought.

I've heard about Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged but I prefer to get my information from actually reading the books, not taking someone elses word for it or buying into the hype. The books don't promote any witchcraft and whoever says so is basically lying. The books refer to magic as something you get from a wand and by mumbling Latin words, which just doesn't relate to real witchcraft or the religion of Wicca which uses witchcraft. Sorry, even if you get obsessed you won't be able to fly on a broom, visit Hogsmeade, make things fly by yelling "Wingardium Leviosa!" or anything else mentioned in the books. There is no connection to spiritual witchcraft, devil worship, etc mentioned. I think whoever put out the movie just wanted to ride on the coattails of the Harry Potter success.
