Couple weeks ago there was a threat about HP, and I agree with that one. Yes, HP is about wizards, etc., but at least the author did not intentionally write the pieces to undermine Christianity. That’s not the case with “His Dark Materials” by Philip Pullman. He stated that he wrote the series to challenge Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, which he saw as ‘Christian indoctrination’.

Would you mind linking to this? I'd like to read it. A threat? About what?

Have you read these books? I have not, but was recommended to read them by 2 family members, though was always less than enthused to do so.
