Thanks for posting this. As a Christian there's no way I can blindly accept this as harmless entertainment. It's witchcraft 101 and kids do not need to be exposed to this unless they get a serious explanation of what it's really about.

I know how you feel. There are many things we participated in when younger, such as Halloween, that we now feel is inappropriate for Christian famillies. Certainly, education is the key to understanding Halloween and witchcraft, no matter how innocently portrayed. This is a tough one, but I believe it is Witchcraft no matter how you slice it. Kids are all over the place seeking now to understand how to cast spells, etc I noticed that PBS is running a documentary type, hour long show, about Harry Potter. It is very interesting. There is so much of the occult in England, and this is where the writer got her inspirataion for the books. God admonished me one time when I picked up a movie to rent that the subject matter was the occult (neat little story, however). He sternly said to me, "You are dabling!" --- Yeah, this is dangerous.

Macbeth
Midsummer Night's Dream
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Once and Future King
Alice in Wonderland
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
The Sorcerer's Apprentice from "Fantasia"
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Mary Poppins
Cinderella

Where was the ouotcry over these titles? There are too many to mention. The Harry Potter critics are using the popularity of the series to propel themselves into the limelight.

Have you read the Potter books? Or are you simply following along blindly?
