the side saying that harry potter is evil and jk rowling sold her soul to the devil.
or the side that says that harry potter is just a good book written by a poor talented woman. (im on this side)
also explain why you are on that side
i want to learn the different argument for the different sides.
the people who hate harry potter for religious reasons are utterly confused Harry potter isnt all about magic and spells It is mainly the idea of the battle of right and wrong Harry defeats evil I think God would definitely approve
and if people are that scared that their relationship with God will be conflicted because of a book, then obviously their relationship wasnt that strong to begin with
Harry Potter is exaclty who he is a fictional character. Satab has always been here, satan is a spirit and whoever told you that may have the spirir of satan. God does not like witchcraft and stuff , however harry potter is just a movie and it means nothing when it comes to God or satan, Its just a movies. God has all power over satan, When you go to church on sunday the man that stands before you has satans spirit. He does not keep Gods commandments, ask him why doesn't he keep the fourth commandemnt,
The fact that people think Harry Potter is a book of evil is ludicrous.
It's just a book, people. It will not ruin your child's youthful innocence. Honestly.
I started reading those books in second grade and I'd like to think I turned out okay. There is nothing "demonic" about it! It's about FIGHTING evil, for goodness' sake! I know how religions say witchcraft is bad, but it's not like it's a book telling you should use it. It's fiction.
I say, ha ha, my friend.
It's a book series.
People need to get over it.
I mean, come on!
The book's about a boy fighting evil.
It's a great book!
All people who think it's an evil book are riddikulus.(Ha ha! HP joke =])
Something needs to happen (like, I dunno, someone seeing Jesus in their Spaghetti-O's) so these religious fanatics have something to talk about.
Anybody who has ever read even a few chapters of Harry Potter, (for the sake of educating themselves) will know that Harry is all about bad evil being vanquished by good. It's a better, more positive theme than the bible and quran stuck together.
Harry Potter doesn't deal with God or the devil. Harry doesn't make sacrifices or perform religious rituals. It is totally pretend, more like a fairy tale than anything else. It has nothing of the devil in it, just a fun book.
I don't get the whole devil thing. Do people actually believe that readers will try become witches or wizards? That is stupid. Everyone knows it's FANTASY. Not real. Imaginary. Duh. I knew that in 1st grade. People should save their energy for more important things.
first of all, there is nothing wrong with Harry Potter
second of all It is not written by a poor talented woman. it is one of the best children book the market has ever seen! JK Rowling is a very good writer.
i really dont know i have heard that magic is the devils worship and things but i dont believe it, i think they are ok books and jk rowling is an ok author.
It's just a story. I haven't even read it, but seriously... what about it is evil? Fantasy and magic are not evil, they're entertaining.
Harry rocks and I think God would approve. Harry is kind, loyal,and is on the side of good in the battle of good vs evil.
The Christian god is far more evil than Harry will ever be. The Christian god would be slaughtering people while Harry sits and cries in the corner because Cho Chang rejected him.
It's FICTION. HARMLESS CHILDREN'S FICTION. People who get all uppity and freaked out about 'zomg witchez n debilz' have clearly never even read a single page from any of the books.
I think its a load of crap. No one would have ever raised the arguement if Hogwarts was not called the school or witchcraft and wizardry.
The Harry Potter series are amazing and J.K. Rowling is a very talented author.
Just popular children's fiction which has as much credibility and fact and as the bible or any other religious script.
There are plenty of answers to choose from here. I dunno I just wants some points. I am starving for points. Please help. It's the only thing preventing me from killing myself.
I am all in for Harry.
