Ebony:"I am more than a little concerned with a growing trend in
modern conservative Christianity that the anti-Harry Potter sentiment
is a symptom of: isolationism."
It seems that those conservative Christians are afraid their faith is
fragile; there is a definite anti-intellectual streak that reminds me
far too much of the Cultural Revolution. They, like Mao or Bill Gates,
want no competition and no questions.
Harry Potter books are about good and evil with no question where the
author stands; loyalty, bravery, love of your friends, becoming truly
mature, being different. The magic is secondary. That seems
heretical, but I believe it.
E:"I'm a committed Christian who happens to love Harry Potter. Some
may think that's a paradox. I don't."
Harry Potter doesn't conflict with Christian principles in any way,
whatever the conservative wing may say. They don't own Christianity.
