Is it that the Wiccan's (Spelled teachers) are so good promoting the witch as a reality or is it that the Christain leaders are bad at addressing contempary issues?
Children latch on to witchcraft/wicca for various reasons. It's reasonable to assume that those who do so generally lack a firm Christian foundation. Regardless of the secondary causes, the fact remains that the books, at least on one level, amount to a lengthy infomercial for the occult, as can be seen from the correspondence between the Potter phenomenon and children's interest in the occult. As such, the books represent a danger to children.
