Yep, I believe witchcraft is a sin. Yep, I believe homosexuality is a sin. Do I believe witchcraft in Potter is the same as the sin of witchcraft in the bible? Nope. We would do well to define just exactly what the sin of witchcraft is (consult Vine's expository Dictionary). Namely, a deceiver and false prophet who uses charms, potions, and amulets to make their "patient" believe they get their powers from occult sources. They are false prophets who deceive the minds of men. That is the sin of biblical witchcraft, not some make believe story where kids blast bolts out of their wands. We KNOW this could not happen in real life; however, biblical witchcraft (deceit, false prophecy) most certainly could. I am against such witchcraft but not against Harry Potter's make believe sort. As for dumbledore being gay, if ithe whole story is this make believe concept than who cares if a fictional character is gay? It is the responsibility of the parents, not J.K. Rowling, to "bring their children up in the way they should go, so when they are old they shall not depart from it".
