There's a post back there by MysticCat, (but I was too lazy to find it and quote it
) about Harry Potter and Religion.
I just finished reading a book called "God, The Devil and Harry Potter" by John Killinger. He is a Christian minister who praises the books. His books tells of parallels between Jesus and Harry Potter and also how the book is filled with Christian themes.
He suggest that every Christian should read the books before condeming them.
It's a very interesting read, even for the non-Christian.
