I recommend you read the original book from which the movie was made. I think you will like it better. Rowling uses Christianity, perhaps inadvertently, as her model for the values of the good witches and wizards in the story. My daughter, born in 1988, pointed that out to me when she read “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” I then read it myself and had to agree with her. The entire story line is about good versus evil.

I believe it was in the last book of the series ("Deathly Hallows" I think) where Rowling referenced a Bible verse, "The last enemy to be destroyed is death" (I Cor. 15:26) on the gravestone of the parents of Harry Potter.

Yes.

Also, the good wizard Albus Dumbledore quotes the Bible word-for-word in placing an inscription on the tomb of his mother and sister, “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Rowling is an annoying Liberal, and I do not look to her for deep wisdom on the salvation of my own soul, but the Harry Potter books do actually contain a surprising amount of Christianity.

Thanks. I don’t recall any other Bible verses in Rowling’s books.
