I think that I read in an earlier post that you said that you are a christian. and that Harry Potter is just a fantasy and it's harmless.

Harry Potter is not God honoring it does not help in teaching children to put God first in their lives in fact it does the opposite it tells them that what God considers wicked is really ok and kind of cool in fact.

Back up your last statement. Proof, please. Sure the theme of Potter may be witchcraft, but does it tell children to engage in that behaviour? Again, no one can provide proof -- just speculation. That's why it's so easy to dismiss this hogwash from the 'religious right'.

Going to NBA games (thank goodness we finally have a team here in Memphis!) doesn't teach us to put God first either. Does this mean I should stop going to NBA ball games? Some things are just value neutral -- Harry Potter is a narrative fantasy, not an instructional manual for the occult. My nephew knows the difference between Potter and real life. I question whether the religious-righties here know the difference.
