i realized recently that christians were making a bit of a fuss about the harry potter issue. i'm a die-hard harry potter fan, and i have many christian friends, some whose parents strongly resent the fantastical tales of the Boy who Lived, as they believe that it is related to occult and magick practices, which is forbiddened by the Bible. now honestly i ask you: do anything that you read/watch in harry potter actually exist? no. just as it all spun out of jk rowling's great and vivid imagination, thus it can only exist in our imaginations. if you claim that harry potter is just a cover-up for more odious sinister witchcraft, are you then accusing jk rowling of practising witchcraft and covering up with this potter propaganda? i understand that some parents are concerned that their children might be influenced by the wondrous display of magic in harry potter and thus corrupt their poor innocent souls. once again i ask you: what we watch in the movies, what we read, are they purely fictional? of course they are. why else would you see harry potter in the fictional section and not the biography section? anyone with the slightest sense of logic would be able to tell that what we see in movies are all special effects. brilliant but fake. some may argue that it is not the special effects, but the concept. the concept of harry potter is the equivalent of santa claus. it is what you want to believe in that makes it real. if you are a true christian, may your faith never waver and continue to praise God. if you are so easily swayed by these make-believe stuff, do you seriously believe in God? The purpose of harry potter is not to influence people into practising withccraft. it is there to enrich our imaginations and wonder at the possiblities IF there had been such things. yes, of course, in obscure places, you do hear of arcane cults and the such. but once again, it is what you believe in that makes it real. if you believe there is santa claus, there will be santa claus. if you fear for your children, then explain to them the difference between reality and fantasy. gosh i sound like a spokesperson for harry potter. but all these are based on my humble opinion, so please don't take them into serious consideration. |

Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
