Null's Daughter(14): I am very dissapointed with all you "adults." Have any of you even read the Harry Potter books? Do you have even the slightest idea of what you're talking about?

But wait, before I yell at you all for being stupid, I'm going to give you my HP background... Here i go- If you check the original copyright date of the first book, it proves that the book was published in 1997. In 1997, no one knew who Harry Potter was. In 1997, I recieved the first book as a christmas present; it was just another book. When Harry first began to emerge into the pop culture, and my classmates were doing the first book as their report, I had read the second and third book.

At first i was delighted with the Potter uprising, but soon i found myself disgusted with the new trend. I hated the movie, it was horrible, and i do much detest the lego's and what not. I am now ashamed to call myself a fan, the fame has destroyed the book for me. Remember, for me, Harry Potter was just a book-

Now, it's time to wake up your dead old people minds. Harry Potter is just a book, an innocent childrens book, and because the story isn't about a kid who lives on the farm and loves God, it must be evil. Go read the book, study the text. Not once does it say "satan, or devil" nor does it refer to the god your ignorant christian minds have invented.

Wait before you go off into a fit of rage, I'm not anti-cristian. But I don't think your image of god is correct. I went to catholic shool for the majority of my academic career, and i've gone through all the sacraments required for people my age, I know what I'm talking about. But enough about that, it's got nothing to do with the topic.

When I read Harry Potter for the first time, way back when, it did not corrupt my innocent mind. I did not convert from my religion, I did not suddenly begin to worship satan. Your odd imaginations are wilder than the story itself.

Half the people who have strong opinions of Harry havn't read the book. Hell, some of them havn't even seem the movie. They just assume that, since it has the word 'witch' in it's content, it's evil. And, also, what makes your religion correct? What makes it some how more valid than say wicca? And what do you even know about wicca? Please, explore these things before you so horribly label them.

Now, about the Harry Potter is a slave to the devil, that is pure bullsh!t. If you read the book, you would be aware that Harry is the "good-guy," He doesn't use his power to kill people, or steal. He doesn't summon up the dead, he deosn't worship anything. He doesn't do anything that your religion thinks of as evil. Like i said, it' an innocent childrens book.

If you've made it this far through my boring little testemony, i congratulate you. I'm surprized i made it this far myself. I've made my point now, though i don't expect your closed minds will open up, and start to think. Well, Off i go, dad's turn... INNOCENT! Harry is INNOCENT I tell you... =P

That's my girl! (Her first post to FR)...

Ask any ten year old if they know right from wrong, and they do -- with or without religious instruction. And then, along comes some creature carrying a book written by God no less ... and ...

I think you get my point.

Congratulations on your raising a fine young lady.

This is to Nully's daughter: What a wonderful job making your point. You mean to tell us, that at the age of ten, you understood the concept of fantasy and fiction? Hm. Seems like I could tell the difference as well when I was 10. I had read books about Merlin the Magician and the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur. Seems that there were magic and witches in those stories, but I never believed it was real. Perhaps we were just unusually precocious, bright and discerning children? Or, maybe spawns of satan? You decide! :)
