Ok, as promised, I'm going to point out some factual errors in your post.

What child who's read HP will read the name Helen Blavatsky at some future date and not be quite as repulsed as he should be by the name of this anti-Christian occultist?

Err.... the name "Vablatsky" is mentioned once, as the author of a rather lame-sounding book on divination, which Harry quickly learns isn't really much good and doesn't seem to give any actual insights into the future. So will anyone make the connection? Not unless they're trying to.

Even the term "Harry Potter" was once a colloquialism for the Devil himself. The books are filled with occultic terms and scenarios.

Please give me a source on this one; it sounds like an urban legend.

the next edition of HP gives up the game completely just by its title -- "Half-Blood Brother". Like all occultists/theosophists/universalists the key to the boy Harry Potter's strength lies IN HIS BLOOD. Where have we heard that one before? From the organization that used as its symbol the same "Lightning Bolt" that Harry Potter proudly displays on his forehead.

Err. There are so many errors here. First off, the new book is "Half-Blood Prince". Second, the BAD GUYS are the ones obsessed with purity of blood. The same BAD GUYS who are responsible for the lightning bolt scar that Harry, incidentally, hates because it is how people recognize him, and it reminds him that his parents were killed protecting him.

Making a connection between the Nazis and the good guys in Harry Potter is laughable.

I'll take a brief look at your links but if that's where you've got your info, I suggest you start looking for something a bit more accurate.

"Old Harry" is an old nickname for the devil; of course, so are "Old Nick" and "Old Ned." No sign that "Harry Potter" ever was! (But possibly the source of the confusion.)

Right. "Half-blood Prince." I was in a hurry.

That title, however, is even worse.

Harry finds he's half royalty by blood. That blood is what gives him his "special powers." Right there we all should be seeing a big red flag.

But let us go to the horse's mouth, or some part of the horse anyway...

The Theosophical Society of America -- "Harry Potter and the Ancient Wisdom"
