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.

Re: And witchcraft is exactly where in these books?

Then what do you call Gandalf? Is he or is he not presented as using supernatural powers that are not of Christ? He is called a wizard. And I'm not judging from heresay, both my brother and my father have read the books.

Gandalf is a wizard but is also a Maiar, one of those spirits I wrote of earlier. Tolkien was very clear to explain that his Arda (Earth) in which was placed Middle Earth was pre-history. That is, before the incarnation of Christ.

IMVHO, reading for "opponent research" and reading for personal enjoyment are two different things.

Reading for 'opponent research' is not something I could do. I was actually quite shocked my Aunt considered Islam 'the enemy'. My friend I could understand a bit more because he was very opposed to political happenings in the Middle East.
