The Production Code in Hollywood was not the same as the Legion of Decency

I know.

For those who are OK with HP, aren't you fearful of witchcraft and sorcery? I didn't even know the author was a woman until this thread, just the cover alone was enough to know to avoid it. I admire how you all can analyze what the author is up to.

I am not in any way defending the Potter books, but no, I am not in the least afraid of witchcraft and sorcery. I avoid the Occult completely and trust in the power and providence of God, so I have no need to be. This is not because I am some sort of spiritual powerhouse, but because God is.

Are you, as Tiffany asked, "ok with Harry Potter"?

If you are not in any way defending them, it does not seem you are ok with Harry Potter. For people who do not choose to expose themselves to spiritual danger, there should be no fear. However, for those who do expose themselves, fear is an appropriate response.

I suppose that makes sense.

For the record, I have not read the books. I am somewhat hesitant to pass judgment on books I haven't read. From what I do know, I would not read them or encourage others to do so.

When I started to read the Harry Potter books, the only anti-Potter info i came across was written by Protestants. These wackos were also against The Lord of the Rings, so I felt fine completely ignoring anything they had to say & in general I have a tendency to ignore the advice of Protestants anyway.

I don't actually care much for the genre of fantasy, except Tolkein's work & ancient myths. I did find the story entertaining, but not essential, so I wont be encouraging anybody to read or watch it. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the explanation everyone. God Bless you all!
