The bible warns against witchcraft,on that basis I would not take my grandkids to see the movie nor would I buy the books....
This is America,even practicing Wiccas have a right to be here and worship as they choose..But I do think Christian parents need to think about the choices they make for their kids.
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.
