Can you understand that this is fantasy, pretend, make-believe? Guess not. It is very sad that you can't differentiate between the real world that the Bible is speaking about, and that of fantasy. The witches and wizards of the Potter series are not Satanists or involved with the dark side. The students (not the readers) are taught how to FIGHT evil. The same way your pastor and the Bible teach you to fight it, only with different tools. The readers of these books CAN NOT become witches or wizards because they don't have the DNA. They CAN NOT conjure, charm, do divination, call up spirits, ect. My roomate who is a born again daughter of two ministers thought like you until I challenged her to read the books and go to the movies. She proved how strong she is in her faith and did. She will tell you there is no problem with the Potter series.

Gee... I don’t usually have a problem differentiating between fantasy and reality. I also don’t usually have a problem with taking heed when my God gives me a warning. I would much rather err on the side of righteousness than compromise with the world. That is my personal decision to make.

Are the Potter series edifying? Perhaps to you, but to me, I see no such redeeming value. My life is complete without them, hardly sad. It’s rather pathetic when you consider the value of a person’s life based on whether or not they choose to read the Potter books or not. And in the long run, I don’t have to worry about making witchcraft more palatable, in the real world.
