Hi, all--

While on the road this evening, I was listening to my favorite radio 
talk station and was electrified by the following news.  Forgive me 
if this has already been reported.

It seems that a few notables in the evangelical, fundamentalist, and 
Pentecostal Christian communities want to organize a series of mass 
protests against the Harry Potter movie.  There is evidently even a 
new video, "Harry Potter:  Witchcraft Repackaged--Making Evil Look 
Innocent", that is now available.  A British evangelist named Carole 
(didn't catch the name) was the one talking to the host about it... 
do not know if she's the one directly responsible or not.  

Does anyone know of this video?  Please e-mail me off list... I'd 
like to view it without paying the $50 requested donation to the 
program I was listening to.  Even if that's not possible, I still 
want to review the video for the group. 

This may not seem like a big deal to many of you.  Rest assured that 
this can become a very big deal indeed.  I am tired of hearing 
certain Christians bashing these books--and I am tired of certain 
folks in HP fandom in turn bashing Christianity.  

Again, I think that HP4GU ought to have *something* on the Web that 
answers these protests via educating the "bashers" on both sides of 
the equation.  The Religion FAQ is a good idea, but I'd love an 
information page pertaining to this.  If you're interested, please 
let me know.

Thanks for listening.  Back to your regularly scheduled activities--

Ebony AKA AngieJ
