Apparently you skipped the whole section on Tom Bombadil. The whole thing boiled down to the Forces of Good vs. the Forces of Evil.
For all you slavering anti-Potter-ites. What book has women getting their father drunk so the can have sex with him? What book has a king getting the blessing of a Witch before a big battle? What book has the central figure consorting with a notorius whore, tax collectors, ect...? In what book does the prime deity expect his followers to go out and slaughter millions of people just because they are of a different race? In what book does that same deity NUKE an entire city?
There is much more violence, sex, and MAGIC in the Bible than there is in the Potter books. Keep your kids grounded in reality and stop trying to spread hysteria.
Potter is fiction. As such it is optional. The Bible is not. It is half of the self revelation of the Creator God (the other half of course being the Traditional guarded, protected and passed on by His Church). To compare them too is inane. But you seem to enjoy being inane. So this will be my last correspondence with you. I cannot waste my time on inane discussions. Good day.
I don't read the parts dealing with incest to my children. Some realities should be reserved until children are capable of ably dealing with them. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with the presentation of witchcraft in the Bible, since it is condemned.
Not so with the Potter series. In the Potter universe, witchcraft or wizardry can be used for good and evil purposes. This is what makes the stories so diabolically clever.
Of course, most children correctly see themselves as basically good. So, lacking instruction in the fact that witchcraft is an abomination to the Lord, they logically conclude that they can use wizardry to good ends just as Harry does.
Far fetched? Read the article where the author mentions that libraries set up witchcraft book displays next to the Potter displays to facilitate "one stop shopping."
