It's pretty easy to say Harry Potter is bad, and so is Charmed and buffy the vampire slayer. but no one is knocking Narnia, and the Lord of the Rings. Both using mythical beings and magic. Now I am going to leave it up to Rowlings to say if it is Christian or not, but to me, the point is that whether it is Christian or not, it brings to conversation Christianity. I think it is a good way to tell kids that magic and witches are bad. I haven't let my kids watch it, but many kids have and even if Satan intended it for evil, we can turn it around and use it for good to help teach kids about the bad stuff being bad and the good stuff being good. I'm not saying take your sunday school class to go see the movie. But make sure you talk to the ones that have seen it, and not in a condeming way. But like I said, teach them through it. Our actions towards this can affect a lot of kids views on Christianity. DON'T MESS IT UP!!
