“People in Britain used to believe the world was flat.”

She publically admitted that 1/3rd of it is (or was) real belief and practice. As a Christian, that should give you serious pause.

1st - Don't preach to me.

2nd - We've pointed out that people used to believe a lot of things. And of course there's a smidgen of actual beliefs in there. Good grief no one's ever denied that.

What we've pointed out is that it's not real. If anything Rowling is making fun of those beliefs.

You'd know that if you'd read the books.

3rd - Don't preach to me.

She didn’t say it was occult belief and practice, she said it was folkloric belief and practice. A lot of British folklore actually comes from after Christianity got to the islands, you know Robin Hood, Arthur, stuff like that.
