There will be no Harry Potter merchandise in my household. At first, I was about to buy one of the books for my son, but then I started looking at it a little more in depth. It's all about "mysticism" and stuff like that and quite frankly, all that is a kids version of witchcraft, tarot, horoscopes, etc. I don't think that any of the Harry Potter stuff is "evil" per se. I just don't want my kids to get into all that mysticism stuff.
In addition to Harry Potter, my kids are no longer allowed to watch Power Rangers or anything else that promotes violence, because they take all of that power ranger energy to school. My son is also no longer allowed to watch Digimon - - Digital Monsters. He started acting the parts out...too aggressively. His behavior immediately changed when he stopped watching it. Kids easily take cartoon characters and make them their "heroes".
I am all for Vegetales. They're great little movies. My kids are also allowed to watch all the regular cartoon and Nickelodeon, but I screen what they're watching, as should all parents. Really, it's a matter of choice. What I may do with my children may not be what another parent does with theirs. Only you can decide what is right or wrong for your family and household.
