There is also an article from pagans, witches, and druids speaking about how Harry Potter normalized paganism as a normal practice and lifestyle and talk about the “power of pagan prayer” in their life.

Real Witches and Wizards Speak Out on the End of Harry Potter

Literary geeks and fantasy fans across the nation are lining up to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which opens in theaters at midnight tonight. Anyone who's read J.K. Rowling's book series already knows how the final battle pans out, but there are some locals who might...

How any good Catholic can support this is beyond me. Paganism, witchcraft is a false religion and we should not be in any way supporting this.
 
I read them when I was young and it has not had much of an impact.

Because no one really cares about the magic, it’s mostly just a plot device.
 
@Scott84 seems to have vanished in a puff of smoke. I wonder how he achieved that.
 
Please no! Not another Harry Potter thread! I think this topic needs to be banned! It’s been a decade since the last book was released and the last film (I don’t count the “Fantastic Beasts” films) so time to move on!

And honestly, by this point JK Rowling has shown her true colors so we don’t need to debate this anymore!

Harry Potter contains real spells and curses. It glorifies witchcraft, which is Satanic to the core. So many people have been seduced into thinking this is just harmless fantasy where kids pretend to be wizards, but it isn’t that simple.

There was some children who were fooling around by reciting one of the spells in Harry Potter, and 5 days later their house burnt down.

I knew someone who read one of the books and not more than three months later he cut himself shaving.
 
I would prefer to accept the exorcist’s advice over anything else.

It is the exorcist priest who knows and understands fully about spiritual dangers. After all he is the one that people turn to when they have significant spiritual problems. He would not have said such without good reason and recommend that the book to be removed.
 
If you look at the original article you will find that the priest name is there, though not directly quoted as he was not available to comment due to not being out of office. Though confirmation that they had been removed from the schools. Paragraph below can be read in The Tennesean:
The pastor was out of the office until Wednesday, but Rebecca Hammel, the superintendent of schools for the Catholic Diocese of Nashville, confirmed Reehil sent an email about removing the books following an inquiry from a parent. He also notified faculty, she said.

My kids read the books and ten years later they had to move out of the house and get a job.
 
Well you will not get that information in a public arena, unless the priest has agreed to be named.
 
That’s the thing… the ONLY argument is a vague appeal to authority. That doesn’t typically fly in Catholicism. Usually there’s a theological argument beneath it… yet no one who has actually read the books can refute the points I made in my earlier post. It all boils down to hearsay and claims that never ever cite or reference the actual source material (the books).
As Rowling has herself explicitly acknowledged the Christian allegorical elements of the seventh Harry Potter book, and explicitly denied that Wicca / real paganism has any place in her fictional world, I would go so far as to say that those on this thread who condemn her with NO knowledge of the books are slandering her reputation.

Does Harry Potter Teach Christianity?

Read about the minority argument that the Harry Potter books are not only compatible with Christianity, but in fact contain Christian messages.

As I said before you will need to do your own research and come to your own conclusion.

My cousin knew someone called Potter in school and then 42 years later Trump was elected.
 
Yep, nothing to see here either…

That very article named quite a few of the reasons for the lure of Wicca and it’s not a dorky teen boy in boarding school. Nice try, though. Within the realm of media, it actually has to do with the glamorous and sexy appeal of “witches” in the television, the movies, ads, and of course, the internet, which gives those with an interest in the real occult a place to chat, and plan meet-ups.

Yeah, right, like I said HP has NOTHING to do with it. It’s all those sexy witches on TV. It’s nothing to do with witchcraft being glorified to small children day in and day out for the last twenty years or so.
