Harry Potter: for those of you who are interested...

[olde_fashioned]

For the record, I am utterly opposed to Harry Potter and other books involving and glorifying witchcraft. THIS is a link to Doug Phillips' blog, that explains the dangers of Harry Potter much better than I ever could.

You aren't, by far the only one. ;)

Didn't read the article...but, you know...even disregarding the magic, there's some major moral problems. Harry, as all these kids' role-model, is a very, very bad boy. And gets *away* with it all the time. I just think it's beyond frustrating that people like him so much.

It's sort of like all the girls that say they'd love to marry Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.

Why don't we just go out and TRY to get ourselves in oodles of trouble!

The article is really worth a read, if you have the time.

I don't know anything about Harry other than the fact that he's a wizard, but that just makes it even worse.

Oi. Erik the murderer...

I think it's expected of us anymore. So then everyone wonders when we oblige them? *shakes head*

Just just get cooler by the second. A girl who DOESN'T try to come after me with a sledge hammer when I grumble about Erik's fanclub.


I have to admit, out of most portrayed gentlemen, Raoul is a favorite.

LOL!! I'm certainly not a fan of Erik's, but I will confess I don't get what the deal is about Raoul........sorry!!! :-)

lol, I've never ever found anyone who likes Raoul either. I look past his appearance (ick?) but really enjoy his personality/actions.

My brother thought he should have killed the Phantom when he had the chance. ;-) I'd like to know why he wasn't with Christine all those years -- why did he suddenly come back?

Did you ever read the book? It explains a lot more than that movie (which I have such a wonderfully high opinion of../endsarcasm).

I don't remember the specifics though. It's actually been a lot of number of years since I've been infatuated with it all. By the time the movie came out, I was already getting disinterested. :)

No, I haven't. And I didn't like the story enough to try, either. I only watched it for the costumes...lol!!
