Do not pass your children through the fire (child sacrifice). Do not practice divination (see the future) or sorcery. Do not turn to mediums (who can speak/conjure the dead)or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist (aka wizard) among you must be put to death.

I don't do any of those things, but I enjoy reading Harry Potter stories, and so do my kids.

YOU read about them in the Bible, does that make you want to DO any of them?

No, but there are many kids who do get interested in the occult from HP. They think it’s a safe thing to get involved in because of what they’ve read in HP - namely they will be okay doing magic if they have good intentions.
