 I didn't see any religious messages in any of the book's and am 
amazed at the amount of comment's that say there were. I also read 
the book's because I liked them and have no interest in  what 
JKR'sreligion is.

Doddie here:

You don't have to have interest in religion...some here have it, 
some don't...some are Christian, some are Jewish, some Mormon, some 
Muslim..no one wants to get into a comparative religion debate 
here...(believe you me, my posts have been chastized more for their 
grammar and the appropriate posting method before language came into 
play...but this is an international board with a not so 
international moderatiion...

Therefore continue posting your view...do not stop a story for 
story's sake still hold's true to me.


There are always subliminal meanings...especially for fairy tales
(perhaps this is why DD left Hermione said book) and childrens 
stories(of which the Potter series is said to be one)...and even 
adult stories(which I think the LOR was supposed to be one)...no one 
religion stands alone..they all began somewhere citing principles 
that could have been believed in..and morales that have been held 
true...

I will not comment on the economics of the potter series (which IMHO 
strike harder than anything JKR ever wrote); just that you keep your 
view on the widest lens possible and if you disagree, please post 
why...we live in a world of multiple religions, all of which were 
founded upon common ground.
