Would you burn Mein Kampf too? Of course not. Im merely responding to your comment that the Potter books are simply stories. Everything you read, watch and hear in life influences you, whether you think it does or not. The Potter series does not reflect Judeo Christian values, therefore, it is something that I would prefer my kids not to read. Actually Im in the middle of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe with my 6 year old, and it is spurring great conversation about spiritual matters. If I was to read her Potter, I would have to say to my daughter "The magic that Harry uses is called 'wichcraft' and it is condemened in the bible." I prefer my daughters heroes to use "Godly" means, not demonic. But hey, if your not a christian, then you think my line of reasoning is out to lunch anyway.

Yeah, I guess I sometimes forget that there are still people who think that magic powers, spooks, goblins, boogie-men, demons, and supernatural potions and spells... are real.
