[Faith-talk] Who's reading what?

[Kendra. Schaber]

Hi all! 
Some Christians will read Harry Potter and other Christians won't touch it with a 30 foot cane. I believe that it's your choice to read Harry Potter or not. Most don't realize that J. K. Rowling is a Christian and she uses a lot of Christian symbelism. I have a couple Christian friends who want nothing to do with Harry Potter. I also have Christian friends who will read it and enjoy it as a good story. Yes it has stage magic in it but they are wizards from fantisy. From a Pagan's point of view, magic by itself is not good or bad. The way that it's used deter mains that. The same is for the cheritures in Harry Potter. Harry and his friends are good and Tom Riddle and Lord Voldimort are bad. With that in mind, give it a try anyway and judge Harry Potter afterwords. It's all up to you to choose after all.
