I agree 100% It's pretty naive to belief that a "book" is only innocent fun and entertainment. It may seem innocent enough on the surface but books transmit ideas and ideas becomes actions. Giving kids the idea that witchcraft, divination and blood sacrifice is nothing more then "simple fun" is pure stupidity. Anyone ever hear of The Koran, Mein Kempf, Origin of Species, The Communist Manifesto? Think these books may have influenced some people??? I highly recommend the video "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged Making Evil Look Innocent to those who can see forest for the trees! http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/Videos_in_Depth/hp_witchcraft_repackaged.htm

"Anyone ever hear of The Koran, Mein Kempf, Origin of Species, The Communist Manifesto?" Yes, and if I'd read all of them, at no time would I have been a Muslim, a Nazi, an evolutionist, or a commie. Just as reading Harry Potter does NOT make me a participant to witchcraft.
I'm sure most people will agree that merely reading the Bible doesn't make one a Christian. So how can merely reading Harry Potter make on a participant to witchcraft?

I agree what you put in your mind will influence you. It may influence you a lot or it may be subtle but it will.
