CROWD: A witch! A witch! A witch! The answer for a thousand Alex is "What is Hillary?"

Where do the Leprechauns fit into all of this?
To: RJCogburn
I did not see the first one and saw the new one today. I thought Harry used his mind mostly 9-1 over any magic.
I also thought they stayed away from the occult as in the DEVIL.
It was more a fantasy adventure with effects like Mary Poppins. (Flying car - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang).
It was mysterious, but I did not feel this movie would turn a kid away from God. But, parents or elders should be quick to point out to kids you don't attempt magic and that what they saw is NOT REAL. Just like if they jump off a building, they WILL NOT FLY!
I found it long and very book like as a movie. It was cute, the affection of Potter and his two friends were heart tugging and the special effects were not near as special as I thought they would be.
No harm, no foul!

Just so I'm clear, do you consider the Wizard of Oz and Fantasia to be "rank manifestations of evil"?

I personally do not watch the Wizard of Oz any longer for the same occultic objections mentioned previously.
No regrets.

A scene of self animated brooms is a manifestation of good? Or is it simply a prophecy of the Hoover (beats as it sweeps as it cleans)?
To: HiTech RedNeck; proust
No personal offense to people such as yourself, but this Roman Catholic thinks you have a tendency to take harmless fantasy and turn it into rank manifestion of evil.

What's powering the brooms? Something purely physical like a Tesla coil?
To: HiTech RedNeck
lizma didn't imply or say that Harry Potter said 'Do unto others'.
Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself, and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence. (Confucianism, Mencius VII.A.4 )

Don't give up on the Hardy Boys. Wholesome stories with challenging vocabulary.
Get dad to do a few read out loud and maybe it will catch on.

"Gee, that book smells funny"

I've never even heard of the Three Investigators! LOL
He's never at a loss for books. Reads on a lot of different topics. But, I agree that he'd probably like them. Oh well, perhaps in time. He's into ancient civilizations at the moment.

People of different religions post there. But I no longer post there. :-)

Would Jesus drive an SUV to the theater to see Harry Potter?

In the 'fantasy world' that is. Why brooms? Why not Electroluxes or mops? Brooms have anything to do with witches (in popular mythology that is) huh?
To: FreedomAvatar
It's that pesky little Bible issue!
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are *true*, whatsoever things are *honest*, whatsoever things are *just*, whatsoever things are *pure*, whatsoever things are *lovely*, whatsoever things are of *good report*; if there be any *virtue*, and if there be any *praise*, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
