Harry Potter used in church

[Jayne]

Not sure how much you lovely people will find this interesting, but I 
did

At Mass tonight our priest had a Harry Potter book in his hand and 
proceeded to ask us waht we thought the reason was. 
He said that the book showed a lot of christian values. It should 
love, sacrifice and courage. He also used it as a way of saying that 
in death we always want a little more time than we have with our 
dying relatives /friends and this shows in HP &PS where Harry is 
looking in the mirror of desire and sees his parents and then wants 
longer with them than he could have

It's great IMHO that the books that we love and discuss can be used 
in this way for those of us that believe in God.Jo Rowling IMHO would 
be pleased as she is a christian

I hope this post does not give offense to thoose who do not believe 
in God. It is not meant to be a preach or anything like that.
