Yet this popular series presents a perplexing—even divisive—challenge to the Christian community. Although the books present a clear picture of the epic battle between good and evil, they appear to support the use of magic and have had a controversial impact on our culture. As a result, many of us are wondering, “How should I respond to this Harry Potter thing?”

This book is perverted poison which stinks of fundamentalist fodder. by ken Oconnell
Why do Christians insist on almost everything tangible, animate and inanimate, relate to their doctrine? Are people really this brainwashed based upon faith alone?

It saddens me I have to share the earth with people who let their poisoned religion ruin life and its beauty, such as writing and reading wonderful fiction like Potter and Tolkien and the like.

Christian Fundamentalist, the total whack-job Pentecostal Christians, these born agains that seem to live in Middle America, and towns like Cederville, Arkansas where they had book bannings of Potter, the Christian Film Reviewer Phil Boatwright who’s fundamentalist warped view of the world says “Potter is nothing but the spawn of satan” and goes against the grain of his mighty fairy tale of the Bible, Baptist youth ministries leader Jennifer Zebel who thinks if the book is this widely popular it must be from the devils hands (YES READER IM LAUGHING TOO THAT WE SHARE THE EARTH WITH THIS IRRATIONAL IDIOT), a slew of those uneducated Southern Baptist, James Dobson- the leader of ‘Relegious Right is Focus’, a right-wing, intolerant christian brainwashing fundamentalist organization who have stated with no uncertain terms, that Potter is demonic in nature, and the most UN-holy of people The Rev. George Bender of that cult, looney troop ‘Assembly of God’, who held a book burning for him, his family and his followers, saying “this is not our Lord Jesus Christ work”, and Bill Pen (the books top reviewer) and others like him, are at the very core of intolerance, hate, greed, envy, and perversion in this world. Those names I have mentioned are the right wing nazi’s of a new generation, they stink the very fountain of living to its core, spewing their ignorance behind the eyes and perverted doctrine of their Lord Jesus. No doubt if there is a Savior, that Potter is amongst his/her favorite readings. Their doctrine is another from of silent terrorism.

I feel so deeply sorry for any parent that keeps their kids from reading Potter, the totality of Murakami, the wonderment of Philip Pullman or anything like it. They are already forming their campaigns to crucify The Golden Compass upon release. But what my heart aches for is the children of these sicko Christians. I am sorry for all you kids out there that have to grow up with Orwellian Christian parents that are brainwashed by their faith, and who wont let you read Potter. You will be free someday.

Hello? by P. Goch
Harry Potter is a work of FICTION.

How difficult is that to understand?

an overall favorite by Sweetbriar
I bought this book in 1991 when the controversy about Harry Potter was at its highest. I was so frustrated with the arguments over these books and the disrespect I saw among Christians of all denominations. I found this book to be a respectful, intelligent discussion of not only Harry Potter books but how Christians should conduct themselves in all manners of division. This author does not let fear guide her thinking. It is obvious she has a thorough understanding of how real literature works…something many in our culture today do not grasp. I feel she was very brave and worked very hard to present both sides of the disagreement. She is to be commended not only for an excellent book but for her courage.

I’m sorry, but I have to say this. Whatever your veiws of witchraft or wicca are, it has been recognized by the united states constitution as an official religion, and to attempt to ban a fictional book because it leads people into ‘the occult’, in other words, wicca, is religious persecution. I understand that this book is trying to argue the debate over the harry potter series in a rational way, and I respect the author for that, but what people don’t understand is how disgusting this debate is. It’s like having an extremely widespread debate over whether or not a children’s book will lead children into converting to Hinduism, and if it should be banned because of that. That is clearly an example of prejiduce and religious persecution, and so is this. (not necessarily this particular book, but the whole debate in general) Wicca is an established religion, whatever your feelings toward it might be, and tying religious persecution to the Harry Potter books is unfair, both on the kids who read it and the author. Another thing that makes this debate so ridiculous is that Harry Potter has nothing whatsoever to do with Wicca, and it is unfair on the series to claim that it does.
