How many of these are on the net?!
Harry Potter is a work of FICTION! FANTASY! As long as you know that this is fake, its not right, and you dont try to practice it God is NOT going to send you to hell. As long as you know its just a book and dont take it seriously, theres nothing wrong with liking the books.

newsgirl3664 I must admit, I have read the books and I enjoyed them, but I won't say anything more to defent them. It is very sad, because my friend's older sister started using witchcraft because of these books and I decided I didn't want to read them anymore after I heard this. I've realized using evil for good is wrong , and witchcraft is evil. Why is it evil? It turns us away from god, and anything that turns us away from god is evil. Though J. K. Rowling probably didn't intend this, these books can encourage use of witchcraft. That is my opinion. 3nodding My friends wanted to pretend to be witches. Like they were making out lists and a bunch of other crap, this was like in 5th grade too. I played with them, just thinking it was another game, but they were really obsessed with it

Weirdo55 In my opinion she is just like any good author out there, she came up with a good idea for a book series, and she gave it an edge to make it even better, and it worked. I'm in the opinion that her books are pure fantasy. I am a devout Christian, (not the religious type, simply one who believes in having a relationship with Christ) and I read the book, and enjoyed them, I've even read them all 3 or four times. I've heard speakers go on four hours about how JK is "Satan's Messenger" and reading the books makes you pagan, I've never heard anyone say a thing about LotR and Narnia (someone said this earlier) , because the authors were Christian (they were slightly more on the religious side than I) . I've heard speakers defend them by saying that their books where written to make a moral point, and it's ok that Gandalf is a good wizard, and the The Magician in The Chronicles of Narnia (that boys uncle, can't remember the name) is using magic, because it comes out to have a moral at the end! But anyone that can honestly say that Harry Potter doesn't have a moral is amazingly wrong! It does, good always wins, and even thought sometimes Harry has to use less than perfect ways, he always has integrity!

Zullala Quote: According to the Bible, Chi, since it is not a tool of God, is a tool of Satan, so yea, it is bad. Ok, the socerers in the story of Moses, for example, could do the same things God gave power to Moses and Aaron to do. Example: changeing a staff to a snake; God gave them the power to do it, but not the socerers, yet the socerers still had the power to do so. The socerers got their power from another source, if it wasn't God who then? As for how the word tool is being used here, I'm pretty sure it means more in a supernateral since.

I think It's up to each person what they chose to read or not read.

when reading books like HP and other books containing the use of magic....
know that it's FANTASY !!! just don't take it seriously and think of it as entertainment.
Know that magic exists, that magic is evil and that you can't use an evil thing to do good biggrin
but it's up to each person to think if they (with the help of God) can make that difference between right and wrong and fiction and reality....

Axel of Anime I'm not saying this is true, and this is just something the crazy kids at my school said, but they say J.K. think that Satan will kill God. Just typing that makes me feel weird. Creepy.... Wow thats heavy, but the devil has no power in heaven. p.s. Those kids should put thier belief in something better stare
