Hey guys, this might be rather controversial, I don't know how many anti-harry potterists there are out there, but heres the topic:
Is Harry Potter a moral story? Is there anything in it trying to encourage REAL whitchcraft? whaddayathink? This topic has probably already been posted, I'm just interested in people's opinions! |

I can see how people would think of Harry Potter as Satanic--it's a common misconception that witchcraft is synonymous with Satanism. So, Christians heard Harry Potter was a book about a kid in a school for witches, and therefore, thought it was Satanic. Harry Potter was just stereotyped because witches are stereotyped. Witches(also called Wiccans) ARE NOT Satanists. Wicca is a religion all its own. Satan is a Christian concept, and as Wiccans aren't Christian in any way, they don't worship Satan.
I don't believe that Harry Potter is Satanic at all. People(not to be discriminating, but mostly Christians) warp things as simple as a child's TV show way out of proportion. I even saw a page once about how that anime series Sailor Moon was Satanic. So yeah, it's easy to see how they can take Harry Potter and make it Satanic by using stereotypes. |

BLEh. read the thread. it's been discussed. and as far as harry potter being satanic, it is. in the sense that any ideology of doing things for your benefit is satanism. which it, technically, is. |
