So you like Harry Potter?

Before Harry was born, a wizard “…went… bad. About as bad as you can go. Worse. Worse than worse.” He terrorized the wizard-ing world with a deadly curse.

Harry became famous as the boy who lived when he survived that deadly curse. Voldemort murdered Harry’s dad, then threw the curse at Harry, but Harry’s mom took the curse on herself to save him. Voldermort hit Harry with a curse again. That’s how he got his lightningbolt scar. But the curse was broken. Hagrid calls this “a great myst’ry”.

Lily Potter loved her sone so much that she gave her life. She jumped in front of the curse to save him. At the end of the story, the evil one couldn’t even touch harry! As Dumbledore said, “to have been loved so deaply”, gave Harry protection forever.

What a great story! It’s set in a fantasy world. There’s another great story. It REALLY HAPPENED in our world……

Before the world began an angle went bad About as bad as you can go. Worse. Worse than worse.” He terrorized the world with a deadly curse. God cast him out of heaven, like lightning see? He tricked people into disobeying God and hit ‘em with a deadly curse. People lived in fear of death until the curse was broken.

Jesus broke the curse. He took it on himself when he died on the cross. When Jesus came back alive that proved the curse was broken.

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will not die but have eternal life. (John 3;16). Believe in Jesus. He is the real elixer of life.

Then you can be the boy (or Girl) who lived.

Jesus came to distroy the works of the devil (that angel that went bad). He prayed he would “be protected from the evil one.” In our world, all witchcraft is like the Dark arts at Hogworts. So don’t dabble! Practice Defense against the dark arts. Get all your supernatural powers from God.

Where Angle's Go, Trouble Follows (don't you just love Rosalind Russell?)

Khepera - We really didn't need another Harry Potter thread. And for the record, my family will probably see the movie this Sunday after church.

"I particularly hate 12.5 degree angles...thems always bad.."

I had nightmares as a child where the evil Sorcerer Isosceles suspended me over boiling oil (peanut oil - I think) from his sloped side!

Horrifying!

"Ya' know, it the poster had it's way, American would look an awful lot like Afganistan under the Taliban."

I think so too, same type of thinking at least..... but I hate to make that point because the Taliban is so repulsive and I would hope reality would set in on many of the well-intentioned but misguided who would wake up to a world of totalitarian thinking.

I don't have a problem with people who don't want their kids to read POTTER etc, that's their FREE CHOICE - I just don't like anyone burning the books for the rest of America.

Before the world began an angle went bad About as bad as you can go
Remember, folks, it's the angle of the dangle that matters! (I hope my acute sense of humor isn't too obtuse for everyone.)

I hate it when angles go bad.

Why can't they all stay right?

It's funny how a typo can turn a thread 180 degrees! :)
