My kids thought I was cruel when I wouldn’t let them read the Harry Potter books.

When the series first came out, a TIME MAGAZINE cover had legions of little kids with witches hats on their heads to promote HARRY POTTER. It made me sick knowing that is what many would become.

Why Christians would visit DISNEY WORLD and allow their children to watch Disney programing is beyond me. It promotes the LGBTQ agenda, disrespect for parents, the occult...

I wasn’t a fan of the books but two of my four kids were and I was forced to read them because of that. Harmless. Parents should ban Ellen and other talk shows and technology before they ban books, lol.

And this is why we are losing the culture war.

I watched some of the movies and was horrified by the blatant dark magick in the them.

I pitied the parents whose kids *had* to be part of this evil, lest they be “uncool”.

Rowling has mach to answer for.

My kids thought I was cruel when I wouldn’t let them read the Harry Potter books.

Some time ago, my grandson was watching a spoof of Harry Potter on his all encompassing Ipad, which I happened to be privileged to witness by chance, on this particular occasion, and it had HP and his pals raiding the bedroom of Snape. They found his diary, which they noted "was just lying there in a locked box under his bed" ... and proceeded reading it, the text of which I don't recall, as provocative as it might have been, and then they made a new entry, which I don't recall at all, but it was juvenile in nature.

So there sits my grandson, age 6, taking it all in. He absorbs all this like a sponge. Recently I had occasion to ask him about it, and HE had to remind ME that it was HP doing the snooping, which I didn't exactly recall.

O Brave New World!

Harry Potter is of limits in my home, too. Most people think I’m an extremist. I suppose I am.

I am just relieved that my kids never even had interest. I don’t understand these obsessions with Harry Potter, Star Wars. I cannot comprehend giving this much attention to a freaking movie.
