If you fill their little minds with witchcraft and spells and disregard for the rules..do not be surprised if you reap what you sow.

Better not have them reading MacBeth (the witches). Currently, my kids are watching The Nutcracker, it has supernatural things in it. I better have them turn it off. Better not read any of those fairy tales either.

The witches were not the Focus of the tales.HP glorifies spells and witchcraft..it teaches young minds that they can manipulate and control others with witchcraft.....a whole different feel to it..but put into your childs mind what you choose.On the day you are called to account for how you raised your children in the fear and admonition of God you will not be able to say you didn't know..

I read MacBeth in high school. Again in college. But most eight-year-olds aren't devouring Shakespeare.

Parents object to the fact that Harry Potter glorifies witchcraft to young, impressionable minds. Rowling presents a perverse, Godless world order that looks to be lots of fun.

You sound like a good parent. Do yourself and your kids a favor and read one of the books yourself. It's the only way anyone can make an accurate judgement.
