It can also open the door to evil spirits. Do Christians kids really need this kind of fantasy? And that is a perfectly valid quotation. Someone did the research from a Christian perspective and exposed the Harry Potter series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but frankly I find their research ridicules. No one is going to become a witch from reading Harry Potter anymore then becoming one from watching the Wizard of Oz.

No one is going to become a witch from reading Harry Potter anymore then becoming one from watching the Wizard of Oz. Evidently you do not take the realm of evil spirits seriously. They look for every avenue to access and influence humans, especially children. As we look around us and see the news being reported from all over the world, we see only the human aspect. But Scripture tells us that Christians are in a serious battle, and it is not with flesh and blood (Eph 6:12) but with powerful spirit beings. We do not even know who actually controls J.K. Rowling and her writings. What we do know is that Christians are to have nothing to do with witchcraft (which includes drug abuse). King James Bible (Galatians 5:20)...Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,...

Well I do agree that Christians should have nothing to do with witchcraft. Though I do not believe that Harry Potter is witchcraft. I am not sure why you through in drug abuse. But I also agree we should avoid that as well. I think J.K. Rowling controls her own writing. I have watch movies and documentaries about her and I do not think that she as anything to do with real witchcraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the magical world of wizardry, magical creatures,casting spells. Is Harry Potter a wizard or a warlock? Do you know what a warlock and a wizard are Lady? You might want to google the terms.

The problem with researches like that is they sound good to the Christian ear but sound way off base and clueless to those who have actually read the series, as I pointed out previously. I have a question - do you have first hand knowledge or experience with witches or with the Harry Potter series, or is your opinion molded solely by what others have said about it?

How do you know? What is your experience with demons? What evidence do you have that a person was afflicted by an evil spirit from reading or watching HP?

All you have to do is open the door a crack an evil rushes in. Satan is subtle and Harry Potter is just the type of thing he will use to captures kids minds. Instead of keeping their minds on Jesus they want the fantasy of Harry Potter. And really the Wizard Of Oz? There is a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
