Harry Potter is about witchcraft! If you want your children to be open to receive that kind of spirit - you will reap the reward.

Words are "seeds"; they are full of power. GOD formed the earth with words. He even formed us with words: "let us make man in our image".

..."By age ten, Jacqui K. was fascinated with anything supernatural. Since her parents set no limits, she read every fiction and fantasy book she could find on the magical world she craved. In her imagination, she met wizards and witches, power and excitement.

'I continued reading Harry Potter-type books through grade school, high school and into college,' she says. 'Three to five a week! The older I got, the easier they were to find. The whole time I considered myself a Christian! If someone had pointed out to me what I was doing, I would have laughed. I was a normal teenager and a leader in my church group.'

The mystical characters in her fantasy world filled her thoughts during the day and her dreams at night. But when some of them began talking to her, she recognized the power she had pursued:

'I cried out to God to help me, and He did. The voices stopped. I was no Bible scholar, but I recognized that they were from Satan. Some people said that I became delusional because I couldn't separate fantasy from reality. They were wrong. The problem was that I COULD, and had no idea that reading fiction could put me in contact with REAL evil.'.... link

When my child began 'seeing dead people' and heard a voice growl hello at her on an old phone that had been dead for years, I threw out the far less sinister (than Harry Potter) books she was reading, and went about the house rebuking any demons that may have been lurking. Thank God we have not had any problem since. We struggle not against flesh and blood, but something far more evil. We've found the Narnia books a much sounder choice, and I can tie them in to teachings from the Bible. I've heard that Harry Potter has sparked interest in the Narnia books, but that the Christianity in the new printings is being watered down. The devil never sleeps; neither sould Christians.
