Should I read Harry Potter books?

No, they are not real spells. They’re made up, mashed-together bits of Latin.
 
No, they really aren’t. The only one I ever see given as an example is of a person who was obviously mentally ill or cognitively impaired.
 
On the contrary,

some people have tried them and they have worked.

Exorcists have also had to do exorcisms on kids who became possessed through reading Harry Potter books.

Here it is from an exorcist himself:

 
No, they haven’t ever worked. They are not real spells. That is the same video as the one linked to upthread. It is nonsensical.

Wow. Not watching that again. He did not do his research. Reading other criticisms and using incorrect information from them is not good research and it makes him look gullible and foolish. He lost a lot of credibility with this video and another one I watched. I once tried to watch each one because I know a lot of traditionalist Catholic like him and I wanted to see for myself but until someone pays me to do it I’m not going to waste my time. Fr. Ripperger seems to appeal to Catholics who want to find fault with others; it’s no way to grow in holiness but gives the illusion that one is because they are avoiding something he declares evil.
 
Right then, the video:

Claim of witch schools - these do not exist. Lie number one.

Spells are real - they are made up bits of Latin. Lie number two.

Claim that woman burnt her house down after using the spell - proof? Citations?
The spell is called “incendio”, which is Latin/Portuguese/Spanish - a mishmash of languages.

Claims JK Rowling is a witch - Lie number three.

He says himself he does not know if what the exorcist told him is true, so the claims surrounding that can be dismissed.

“Case of possession of five demons inspiring Rowling” again not something he was witness to or involved in so that can be dismissed.

So that video is nonsensical.
 
Read a Harry Potter book and it’s straight to hell for you buckaroo.

Hon, you have every right not to read these books. You have every right to tell others that you don’t think they should read these books. What you do not have a right to do, is spread falsehoods.
 
Well done, and thank you. Seeing the same erroneous information repeated over and over and over and over…
 
I’m sure I made a post on it before, but I couldn’t find it, the thread must have been pulled. I’ll be very glad not to do it again though!

But as long as people link it, I’ll try to correct it. It makes me feel the same as it makes you feel.

Yeah, that’s the problem with topics that tend to get heated, they get deleted and simple, succinct answers are gone.

Now I really need to go post on the Men Dressing Immodestly thread while I can.

It’s really hard to believe that people who get so worked up about Harry Potter aren’t trolling.
 
Did you know HARRY POTTER spells 'R OTHER PARTY?

If they tried to do the entirely fake magic portrayed in Harry Potter, they deserve what they get.

Ont the contrary, I have learned invaluable lessons on spiritual growth and the interior life as well as many other things from listening the Fr. Ripperger’s sermons.
 
There are better ones. Anything that promotes the use of others, their images (including one of a friend of a friend - not cool), or what-have-you and says, “don’t do this” creates Pharisees and philistines, not saints.

This is actually false, I won’t link to any, for obvious reasons, but a simple google search will show that such schools do in fact exist.

Again, this is not true. Spells are basically asking demons (fallen angels) to do things for you. It appears as though the person saying the spell actually has magic powers, but it really is demons doing it. I would recommend searching up Zachary King, a former satanic high wizard who converted to Catholicism. He was literally the best in the world at magic for over a decade.

I can’t find anything either. I’ll give you this one. However, that doesn’t mean that people still don’t do magic. I point back to Zachary King.

I don’t see any evidence to back this up, and it also depends on what you mean by “witch.”

He’s saying that a fellow exorcist told him this.
 
How about two saints instead one saint and Harry Potter?

The original poster will get much more out of St. Alphonsus Liguori or St. John of the Cross or St. John Vianney . . . etc. then J. K. Rowling.
