I’ve never considered magic her theme: Good vs. evil, love and sacrifice, destructiveness of power, destructiveness of hate and vengeance, importance of knowledge, yes. Magic is just an ability that most of the characters possess.
Exactly. And they say impressionable kids aren't going to want to explore that? Many say the kids in the movie use magic just to "overcome evil". So what keeps young viewers from wanting to experiment with "white magic" also?
Lots of kids can just go the movies and have a good time. But I have no problem understanding why this priest says a lot of kids believe the stuff on the screen (as kids will do) and think they can get involved with magic also.
It's a no-brainer.
