Is harry Potter just harmless fantasy or does it lure children to witchcraft and demonology?

The Harry Potter series is harmless fun for most of the population. There is a small group of people that have a disposition of one kind or another that makes it difficult for them to discern factual lafe from reality. If one of these people read a Harry Potter book, there is a chance that they might have issues discerning reality.It is just like the issues that some children had in the late 1970s and 1980s discerning fact from fiction when it came to playing Dungeons and Dragons.

For the overwhelming majority, Dungeons and Dragons was a fun game to pass the time with friends. Some, though, took an extra series of steps taht others did not take, and it led down a deadly path in some instances. A person would have more of a chance of having a leaning towards a differnt faith patern by reading a book about that faith then a fictional book based in an alternate reality.

A young and impressionable mind would be more likely to head down the road of demonology by reading the works of Crowley than the works of Rowling.

Lol, I remember when all of this started back in '97 when her books started gaining popularity. It was the topic of my first ever debate in 7th grade. Honestly, hardcore Christians will find anything to disapprove of.

Magic, of course, is a big factor, and it's a gigantic theme in the books. The beginning of the series is all about the allure and spectacle of magic in the eyes of a boy that's never experienced any of it. There is, of course, both good and bad magic - and Harry gets a taste of both from the beginning.

The theme of dark magic is explored in-depth, particularly in the 6th book of the series, where Voldemort is discovered to have hidden parts of his soul in magical objects called Horcruxes - the ritual for which involves murder. However, the gigantic theme in the series that is being overlooked is that good triumphs over evil. In no way is JK Rowling advocating the use of dark magic - in every book in fact, she goes out of her way to show us how bad the repercussions are of using dark magic.It's all about the struggle to bring down Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

You could even go as far to say as there are Christian themes in the book. Harry himself can be considered a Jesus figure, for his trials and suffering (and ultimately, rebirth) during the series. More interesting theological facts about Harry Potter http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/9505.htm here.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
