The classic misinterpration for the sake of BS. Mirrors aren't vehicles of magic in HP, some mirrors are enchanted, as are some quills and brooms of various types and keys and doors. They aren't ever used in HP in any way that ever resembles any of the various real world occult rituals that use mirrors.

My religion is Christianity. And there was nothing foul mouthed in my post. Insulting yes, but I find the very presence of condemning Christians to be the ultimate insult and they really make me mad, but foul no. I went well out of my way to rebel against my Marine Corps upbringing and not use any of the language my parents taught me in aggressive moments.

They are used as a method of "seeing" adn alternate or symbolic reality which is really divination.

Mirrors are use in occult magik for a number of puroses. I'm sure you don't know them all.




****I find the very presence of condemning Christians to be the ultimate insult ****

Care to point me to where I condemned someone???

And if "condeming" is so bad - then why are you condeming me???

What would your opinion be if Harry Potter and friends were portrayed with values that loosely reflect the tenets of Islam - but in a fun and colorful way with great characters?

Would it just be a book to the HP true believers then?
