So, as long as a book accurately reflects life (reality?), and contains bad stuff, it’s OK?

The Bible accurately reflects the reality that God hates the abominations under discussion and His judgment eventually falls on the practitioners of them.

“But doesn’t your previous example (you know, the underage crack addicted male prostitutes) also accurately reflect the experience of some?”

Not if it glorifies it in some sort of an adolescent adventure series - like Harry Potter.

I will ask you again since you conveniently skipped my question:

Does The Wizard of OZ with the character of Glenda the GOOD witch glorify occultism?

I’m curious how you feel about Lord of the Rings. Or Chronicles of Narnia. Or Hans Christian Anderson.

You’ve not mentioned on this thread, and I think it is a valid question, how many of the HP books have you read? You have strongly held convictions about the books, so I have to assume that you are speaking from your personal experience after having read one or more of the series in its entirety.

You certainly wouldn’t be talking about the details of books based solely on what you’ve heard from others, would you?
