I think he's right. Sorcery and magic are strictly forbidden by God, and here is a kid-wizard with a strange mark on his forehead casting spells and making incantations with a magic wand. Kids love it, parents are tricked into thinking its harmless. It's a starting point into progressively evil things. It's like drugs. Start with cigarettes, than weed, than a little coke, next thing you know it's a heroine addiction and a life ruined. People I work with think I'm nuts, but its true.

next thing you know it's a heroine addiction and a life ruined.

I've had a heroine addiction since the 11 year old me discovered Nancy Blackett in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons. It was her "resourcefulness - determination - and a certain disrespect for rules".
