Harry Potter

Arg! So I'm on my HP web site (mugglenet!), which I have a link to, and I see they have a picture of Mad-Eye Moody as he appears in the movie. So I go look at that, and under that there's a link saying something about "Not all Christians are anti-HP," so I click on the link and it goes to Christianity Today's website. There are a bunch of articles about Harry Potter, some for, some against, and I go to one of the against ones because I love ranting at them. But then of course I needed someplace to rant and someone to rant to, so I go to my blog.

YES witchcraft is real. YES HP has witchcraft in it. NO the witchcraft in HP IS NOT real. YES, some kids think it is, which is why the books are not for all kids. My argument goes down to the bottom line that parents should decide whether or not their kids should read the books. Some kids are too imaginative and shouldn't read them, but if they know that it isn't real and it's just for fun, let them read it! Also, don't be anti-Harry Potter without reading the books. The magic is a minimal part of the story and is usually very humorous. When I think about HP I think about the friendships and conflicts and characters, not the magic. Ok, if I write much more I should just put on my 7th or 8th grade HP report (which isnt' a bad idea...) So I'll stop now.
