Harry Potter Books teach Witchcraft to Children
The Harry Potter books are pure unadulterated witchcraft.
While they may be exiting and attractively packaged, the Harry Potter adventure series are, nonetheless, introducing millions of children to the practices and rituals of Wicca.
Equally insidious is the subtle indoctrination, through the Harry Potter series, of paganistic Wicca belief, philosophy, and values.
The books, marketed to impressionable children, pose a long-term threat to Judeo-Christian faith and culture.
The Harry Potter books are virtual manuals for occult practices and beliefs.
Under the guise of innocent fun, children are imitating the words, mannerisms and dress of witches.
In the first book of the series, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the orphaned Harry Potter is taken to “Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry” where he learns how to use witchcraft equipment, work with demon spirits, and use words such as “Azkaban,” “Circe,” “Draco,” “Erised,” “Hermes,” and “Slytherin.”
These are Wicca names for devils and demons.
The arch villain “Voldemort,” is described as “He who must not be named,” the same description Wicca uses for their seventh of seven satanic princes, who represents Christianity.
Harry sports a purple thunderbolt on his forehead, the Wicca symbol for Satan also used by the New Age practicing Nazi SS.
Many Harry Potter devotees, mainly children, are sporting thunderbolt stickers as a way of identifying with Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard who assumes amazing powers.
Harry Potter travels between the magical world and the world of muggles, which is the mundane world of those of us who reject witchcraft.
Harry’s cruel aunt and uncle, portrayed villainously, reject witchcraft.
This view typifies the “New Age” and Wicca outlook, not to mention the aristocratic minded political left, which is that they possess an almost magical knowledge which makes them superior to those who are “less enlightened” and which entitles them to use the levers of power to enforce their ideas for the good of the “less fortunate.”
Judeo-Christian values teach that the individual can overcome evil, both in his own life and in the world, by developing character through hard work, integrity, and courage.
The New Age idea, promoted in Harry Potter, believes that some sort of external and amoral magic is required.
Judeo-Christian faith teaches that G-D created man in his image, not that man would strive to embody godlike powers himself.
Such strivings by man to embrace supernatural powers is no mere childsplay, but underlies every utopian movement in history that has sought to “transform,” to use another Wicca term found in Harry Potter, man into a new being.
This is the philosophy that animated both Nazism and Communism and that animates the satanic Islamic extremism of today.
American public schools are apparently planning to use Harry Potter, which means that public schools will be explicitly endorsing and furthering Wicca, in violation of federal law which bans religion from public schools.
The Bible was banned from public schools in the 1960’s.
Berit Kjos, author of “Brave New Schools,” comments that Harry Potter fits the agenda of the education change-agents as they implement the UNESCO “lifelong learning” program through “Goals 2000.”
“Lifelong learning” states that:
“Everyone - in homes, schools, and workplace – must be mentally prepared to participate in the consensus process.
In the name of unity and community, people of all ages must help form new values, challenge contrary beliefs, report non-compliant friends and relatives, and oppose all other obstacles to compromise, common ground and mental health.”
Harry Potter contributes to this “unity” by advocating the “new values” of the occult.
The muggles, those who maintain “contrary beliefs,” are viewed as “obstacles to compromise, common ground and mental health.”
The young student is taught to “report non-compliant friends and relatives” much as the occult New Age Nazis did to implement their “new values.”
Likewise, the Soviets knew how to handle those who were “obstacles to compromise, common ground and mental health.”
Beret Kjos offers many practical strategies to counter the Harry Potter influence:
KNOW THE TRUE GOD. When children know God, they will recognize the seductive counterfeits.
SHUN OTHER GODS. It’s tempting to believe the beckoning voices that display enticing counterfeits of all God’s wonderful promises.
The power is within you, they say. Don’t listen to the lies.
REMEMBER HISTORY'S LESSONS. The witchcraft and wizardry in Harry Potter books may be fantasy, but they familiarize children with a very real and increasingly popular religion – one that few really understand.
Far removed from the terrors of tribal witchcraft and shamanism, Americans are oblivious to the bondages that normally follow occult favors.
But historical and archeological records have traced the earth-centered myths, practices, and consequences through the millennia.
The human cruelties involved in pagan worship included torture, mutilation and human sacrifice.
Many of these practices continued in parts of the world until the 20th century, when the spread of Christianity with its emphasis on love and the value of life, made most of these cruelties intolerable.
But now the world turns, once again, from God’s truth to the world’s gods and rituals.
SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE. God's way to multicultural understanding and global unity is essential today.
He cares for people in every culture, longs to set them free, and wants to love them through us.
Harry Potter may conquer evil forces with witchcraft, but in the real spiritual world, no pagan power can counter the frightening consequences of dealing with demons. Only God can.
DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR FAITH.
REMEMBER THAT GOD IS FAR GREATER!
PRAY. Only God can slow the massive international movement toward conformity to pagan beliefs and values.
In a nation that has traded truth and reality for politically correct tolerance and unity, Christians are called to remain faithful, prayerful and hopeful in Christ, who offers genuine love and unity.
WEAR GOD’S ARMOR--a set of strategic truths that exposes and counters every deception.
Don’t forget that our real enemy is the spiritual hierarchy of occult forces, not globalist educators or well-meaning teachers.
Only God's power and protection will enable our children to resist and triumph.

Lame. I expect better.
My boy before Harry Potter, told me "I wish I could fly."
It's the very first amendment in the Bill of Rights. Hey, I didn't write it, but I'll defend it to the death against enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Just thought you'd like to know. You show such utter disrespect for our Bill of Rights, that you endanger ALL Christians to the same fate. Parents will decide what religion to teach their children.
And don't tell me anything about Wiccan not being a valid religion. It most certainly is.
And as far as you telling everyone else that witchcraft is akin to murder -- you must be incredible young, stupid or both. How dare you. How would you like it if the world started talking about us that way? In some parts of the world, Christians are being slaughtered -- and it ain't by witches.
In Ireland, a BLOODY and DISPICABLE war has raged for many years, and it ain't being waged by witches.
When the New World was conquered -- the natives were either slaughtered or forced to convert to their religion, and it wasn't done by witches.
It was our religion, which demonized herbalists, chemists, and other MEANINGFUL contributors to our wealth of knowledge and well being. The fact that our religion was responsible for over 100,000 monkey trails and persecutions, should temper your responses more. I highly doubt that such rhetoric is condusive to converting anyone.
It was our religion, which made a mochery of us all. I'll not sit still and watch those who FORCE their agenda on others get away Scott free -- I don't care what religion you believe. We've had ENOUGH of that!
You've got some nerve deary.
True, but in my experience the number of kids "very influenced" was small. My point is that I was not any smarter or mature than other kids my age (just ask my mom!). In fact, looking back on parts of my childhood is painful, as sometimes I was such a dumbass! As far as spirituality, we really weren't a churchgoing family--Mom went but Dad didn't, and we kids never went to church or Sunday school. Mom's church was a relatively mild Methodist congregation. Sorry to bore you with my life story but I think the vast majority of kids can handle the Potter thing just fine--especially if we don't make too big a deal out of it. That always tips the kids off--woooo it spins the old folks up.
Depends on the teacher, I suppose.
Not to my knowledge were any Real satanic or Real witchradft names and spells used in the story as in the Harry Potter series. There are many stories using witches in them but it is of a different nature when acual real spells taken out of witchraft or stanic books are used.
Deut 18:10- 12
Alright, stop right there. You cannot tie a suicide to a boardgame anymore than you can tie Columbine to a gun show. To say that a game pushed them over the edge ignores what led them to the edge in the first place. A lot of the kids I know who played D & D came from divorced families and many more came from troubled homes. Can you tell me where an effort to prevent suicides would help us in the long run? Banning books and/or board games or trying to
Somne kids need an escape like we need vacations. It's hard to take a vacation from your parents while rooted in reality.
I understand that 100% of all suicides also wore shoes at one point....shall I burn my Nikes?
I came from a divorce and troubled home..sucide was never on the radar...but you are right maybe these kids deserved to die..I mean they must have been miserable..
Satan is the father of LIES, and the majority have always rejected TRUTH. Even here on Free Republic. Thanks again for being willing to tell the TRUTH.
Actually I thought it looked good with my new hair cut:>)
Everything in this world can not be explained by logic,there is an unexplainable spiritual and emotional component to much of the world around us.And my friend there is a spirit world that battles against the things of God.Everything isn't caused by a dysfunctional family or coincidence...
Avoid Wicked Customs
9 "When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. 13You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. 14For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.
A New Prophet Like Moses
15 "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, 16according to all you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.'

YHWY is coming down for another look around!
Habakkuk 3
I have been criticized for suggesting that either God caused or allowed (your choice) 9/11.How can that be people ask?.God bless America is all over the place...
They need to read the OT to see how God deals with witchcraft and rebellion.
Here we are 6 weeks away from the worst tragedy this nation has ever seen,and we discuss how a little witchcraft can't hurt you.These are the same people that will ask God's protection when they step on a plane
Then please explain something to me without using logic. I'm really curious.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
IMO the explanatory power of a proposition sans logic is zero.
