November 24, 2001 -- Is Harry Potter the spawn of Satan?

That's the opinion at one Christian school in southern Australia, where parents voted yesterday to forbid students from reading about the bespectacled wizard and his preteen cohorts.

The vote was just part of a widespread anti-Harry backlash by religious conservatives angered by the best-selling books' blatant celebration of witchcraft and the occult.

Jesus saves...Michael Owen scores on the rebound!

Do you have a problem with the free enterprise system? Atleast Lahaye won't be using the government controlled public school system to harry kids under their dominance with occultic dung originating from the other side of the pond. BTW Isn't it true that "Harry" is a nickname for "Satan, the Devil" over there in the land of Freemasonic spiritualism.

Jesus may save's.

But think how much more you can save by ordering my new Video Harry Potter the spawn of Satan to be released soon direct from

On the Band Wagon publications.

we like to make money out of you.

re : Do you have a problem with the free enterprise system.

No if I see a bandwagon going down the street my first thought is how can I fleece I mean help these people.

I myself will be releasing a hit single called beware the Devil he goes by the name of Harry, all money will go to my favourite cause.

The English nick name for Satan is Old Nick.

WoodKirk, in England we associate woods with evil and witch craft and as for Kirk, it is an old Scottish pagan name.

You can learn all about this in my new book “Witchcraft its evil”, another hit from BandWagon publications.

If you love the elderly,do not ignore their spiritual state..If my mother is in heaven it will be because someone in a nursing home took time to explain that God loved the world enough to come down here Himself to take her punishment..

Is anyone else on this thread starting to hear the theme to "The Twilight Zone"?

[Woodkirk]

Hey jbrouwer --- did you forget my question? I'll give it to you again. Is "Harry" a nickname for "Satan, the Devil" as is recorded in Webster's New World Dictionary and others?

[jjbrouwer]

Yes, I forgot your question. What am I? Some sort of walking dictionary?

[tonycavanagh]

re : Yes, I forgot your question. What am I? Some sort of walking dictionary?

Ha Ha ha Ha snigger chuckle chortle.

Cheers Tony

Was there a walking dictionary in HP? I know there was a screaming book.... Yep, sounds like witchcraft to me!

[SamAdams76]

Nice try. But your cliche is tired. There are Christians and there are Bible-thumpers. Me thinks it is the Bible-thumpers who are insecure and defensive. True Christians are not threatened by fairy tales and such.

[tonycavanagh]

re : You can learn all about it in God's book, the Holy Bible.

Yes but like Best-selling Christian author Tim Lahaye I believe the best way to get a message across is to Repackaged it.

The only "bandwagon" over here is the one led by Harry Potter harlequins. Don't you have a complete Webster's Dictionary -- oh I forgot, you are in the Old World: "Harry ... masculine name ... n. Satan, the Devil, usually Old Harry"? Are you saying that our dictionaries across the pond are more complete. "Old Nick" meaning Satan or the Devil too? you . . . . are . . . right . . . . it is right there in Webster's Dictionary too as well as "nick -- to cheat, trick, defraud, conquer by deceit". It fits. Thanks -- Old Nick and Old Harry both are "nick"names for "Satan, the Devil" -- the old trickster hiding behind many names. Did you know that Old Harry and Old Nick are names for the same entity or is Webster's Dictionary telling you something you did not know? e

---- quite obviously not .

True Christians are not threatened by fairy tales and such.

And you are the authority on what a true Christian is? Hmm... what divinity school/seminary did you attend?

What is the source of your "authority" to define a true Christian?

[y2k_citizen]

Isn't Bible a fairy tale anyway?

Then why bother about Harry Potter.

[tonycavanagh]

Oh My God it all makes perfect sense know I see it so clearly.

So Harry Nugent from Greyfriars the hero of the Greyfriars series set in a boarding school where so many of the Characters in Hogwarts seem to resemble may also of had satanic connections.

Harry is a good old fashion English boys name. The Harry Potter series is very old fashion, steam trains, the school train, boarding school, beaks an all that very 1940s, apart from the magic it could be the Greyfriars series written all over again

WoodKirl to me seems very pagonistic why such a name
