I wonder how many people here have read the Harry Potter books or seen the movies?
I have seen them all, and enjoyed them immensely. That said, I am not certain I would permit my (future) children to read them if indeed I had any.
If and when I find a humble,dutiful Catholic wife with whom to procreate with ( no contraceptives please!! ) I think I might want to keep Jk Rowlings books out of their hands.
Idk, I just hear they can be a bad influence, and can lead kids to doing actual magic (wicca, tarot cards, Ouija boardss) instead of focusing on God and his son Jesus.
It makes me wonder, if Rowling is a Christian, as she claims to be, why do none of the wizards express a faith in Jesus?
Perhaps she she really was just "JK" on the whole christian thing .
I suppose I won't be able to stop them from forming their own opinions after they become adults (pre 18 is a whole different ball park !) but I should Id try to keep them on the xtian straight and narrow for as long as possible.
Any thoughts/concerns? Do the Potter books have an anti Christian message?
Just like the bible, the HP books are a complete work of fiction. Not one iota is real.
