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.
