I didn't end up praying to "The Gods". It was merely fanciful, mythological stories.
Rather than screeching "I'm not going to read these books, and I won't allow my children to", why not read them with your kids. They will probably end up reading them at a friends house, or when they get older anyway, not to mention catching the DVD somewhere.
By arming yourself with the story and context, you can reinforce the good aspects and lessons of the books - and there are many - while reminding the youngsters, that this IS fiction; a fanciful tale, and nothing more.
Just a thought.
Screw Harry Potter. Those are high impact movies and not constructive foe kiddies. They should be learning about God and the Bible prophets and Jesus. Not some shit about magic and sorcerers. The entertainment mix for children is too heavily weighted towards Harry Potter type movies and not enough toward religious education
Grimm’s tales and some magic stuff is OK for children. I just don’t like the lopsided proportions. More Bible is needed
