Ok. Well. I have known probably hundreds of kids and young people who've read HP. None of us have been lead into the occult.
If you did try to get into the occult through Harry Potter you'd be very disappointed, none of the spells work at all.
No doubt that is true. And, that could explain why the readers of Harry Potter are soon requesting the "real thing" at book stores and libraries.
BTW, Have you taken a look at the "Religous" section at books stores lately? They are loaded with occult material. Book stores are not museums. Those books are on the shelves because people are buying them.
Ask yourself, "What does this say about the culture and future of America?"
So, you admit it..You DID try the spells in the books. /sarcasm
I will see you at the coven meeting tonight at Walmart, along with the other coven members. We will be disguised as housewives, grandparents, and children.
I am surprised nobody has turned this into a double header-bash Harry Potter and Walmart together on one thread-talk about saving bandwidth.
