I never had a heart-felt blessing thrown back in my face before. At least, not by a fellow Christian. Nonetheless, I will turn the other cheek.
I do understand, PM. But not allowing them to read fairytales does nothing to further that goal. Raising them to respect (fear) and understand God to the best of their ability does, however.
So, at the risk of repeating myself, my point is that the heart that fears God need not fear the devil in a Harry Potter book. If you raise your children in this manner, they could read the Necronomicon itself and be perfectly safe.
Twelve reasons not to see Harry Potter Movies

1. God shows us that witchcraft, sorcery, spells, divination and magic are evil.
2. The movie’s foundation in fantasy, not reality, doesn’t diminish its power to change beliefs and values.
3. Each occult image and suggestion prompts the audience to feel more at home in this setting.
etc...
“If you raise your children in this manner, they could read the Necronomicon itself and be perfectly safe.”
That is simply not true.
“Do not be deceived:’Bad company ruins good morals.’”
“never had a heart-felt blessing thrown back in my face before. “
Sorry for that. I didn’t mean to offend.
