Harry Potter He Is What He Is - Or Is He?

Once again so called Christian parents groups are going over board trying to turn Harry Potter movies into a three ring circus act of immoral perversion. But that fact is, is it really? Here's what I get from Harry Potter. Friendship is valuable, there is evil in the world that can suck us in if we aren't careful and respect your elders.

Here's what my so called Christian brethern claim is wrong with the books and movies: It's teaching our children a love for witchcraft. Wow. How awful. Ok, first of all let's consider something... Is there an under 12 in this country who isn't fascinated with either having super human strength or super natural powers? It's a common fantasy that we all grow out of. I highly doubt little Ashley is going to go to "The Oracle" and buy a dozen candles and work a love spell on her 5th grade teacher she's crushing on this week. Call me crazy, but I don't see it happening.

The system Christians use to condemn book and movies such as Harry Potter can also be used to defend it. In fact, there is a book out there that does so by a Christian author.

And you thought you were so clever.
