It glorifies witchcraft..I wouldn't read the book.

It's fantasy and its entertainment. Whats next......people not wanting there kids to have an imagination?...lol.

those people are crazy!!! I applaud this author for encouraging kids to use their imanginations. With a book you can become anyone and go anywhere in the world. I say those that have these crazy notions in their minds that just bexause a kid reads about witch craft doesn't mean they want to practice it. Those people can stuff that stuipd notion.

LOL.......yep we are so bewitched that people are effected all over the world because we are casting spells...lol. Just the other day I walked into my sons room and he had pixies flying around!

I really really wish that those of us who practice Wicca could cast spells like the media shows... I would wiggle my nose and take care of the world's problems... oh wait, our tantra- harm no one- too bad.

asnapper - Go ahead and read the book and see if you can cast a spell. Did it work? Thought not! Just reading a piece of fiction cannot cause anyone to put a spell on someone! Oh, and don't watch any Disney movies either, asnapper. A wicked witch might make you eat a piosoned apple or put you to sleep for 100 years. There are far worse things in life influencing our children in their daily lives than Harry Potter! Drug ridden neighborhoods, violent video games, murders on the news every day,etc.
I've read all the Harry Potter books except the latest one. Trust me, if I could twitch my nose and make all the idiot bloggers disappear, I would have done it a long time ago.

This person wanted everyone to read the Bible and pray to God instead of reading Harry Potter. I stated that Harry Potter is ENTERTAINMENT. I asked her if we should just stay in church and pray all day and never play sports, go to work, have a vacation, play games with the kids? I stated there was room in our lives for God and entertainment. I guess she didn't agree!

LOL!

I had a post deleted on the other Harry Potter post too... all I did was explain that Wicca, what many call witchcraft, is nothing like the Harry Potter books, that Wicca is not about wiggling our noses and casting spells... The O.P. deleted me because I don't believe in her god...

in a similar response that i typed yesterday to another blog on this same subject:

the same people who hate harry potter are the same people that consider The Wizard of Oz a classic. they are the same people that read Hansel and Grettel to their kids. they are hypocrites.

i cannot believe that weirdos consider that reading a book is bad. i never thought i'd say this but if you don't like freedom...if you want a book to be banned...then get the heck out of a democratic nation...you would feel more at home under the taliban's control...where the book is indeed banned.
