Why do people
think HP is evil?
Recently, a church close to the village I live in held a discussion
evening entitled: "Harry Potter: A good read, or an evil influence?"
and this got me thinking about why people think it will persuade
people to start practising black magic. We have had fairy tales for
countless years and while Harry Potter may be the most succesful,
overmarketed story about magic ever, I don't believe that it could
influence people that seriously. Even the diehard HP fans who buy
all the merchandise, the books and everything else don't start
sacrificing sheep and drawing 6-pointed stars on the floor. So what
persuades people that it is evil?
N.B. - I am not
trying to restart the old HP "good or evil" topic, so no-one
complain about this just being another copy of it, OK?

Re: Why do

Deja vu
It's just because Christians think that magic can
only be used by God or the holy trinity and therefore any other
magic like in the HP books is black and evil. That's the point
basically, because the books are so populair the reaction of the
churches are so extreme.

So why haven't they even made a
minor
response to other tales of magic, or have they?

Re: Why do

I do believe that there is something very dangerous about the Harry
Potter series, but you're absolutely right, grafix... churches seem
to have a pattern of finding one specific thing that's legitimately
bad and pounding it to death, without noticing the other stuff
that's in the exact same category. Why does Harry Potter get bashed
when, say, Yu-Gi-Oh gets off scot-free? I don't know.
Most
people who read Harry Potter won't start sacrficing cats or
something, just like most people who play Unreal Tournament won't go
on a shooting spree. I think what concerns Christians (myself
included) is that it may make people start thinking that because
that book is a fantasy fiction book, that nothing supernatural is
real.

Re: Why do

^ Hmmm, I haven't thought of that one Ilsoap.. But probably people
that enjoy this kind of books and stuff think more than there is
something supernatural, but they keep that as some magic world and
other stuff, and forget God. Or dunno.
But things that I
don't like there is for example in the fifth book where Potter is
talking with that ghost what happens after death and other stuff,
and there's stuff like only wizards can come back as ghosts or
something like that, I don't like that at all.

Re: a

that it's Christian thing to do to write fantasy fiction and enrich
the stuff God created by using your imagination and creating your
own imagination worlds.. :rolleys I read that from his biography or

LOTR
evil?
Now you've done it, Keenrush... that's one of those debates that's
pretty popular to talk about (or at least I hear about it a
lot).
I don't know. The only thing I know about Tolkien is
that he went to church often (I think it was an Anglican church). I
don't know if he actually was a Christian though. As for the books,
there are a lot of people who talk about how it was all a
representation of Christianity or God or something like that, but I
can't see how. The whole battle between good and evil thing doesn't
automatically make it godly.

LOTR evil?
Yep.
^ Yeah, it was Anglican or Catholic church, can't remember.. But
what I remember from the book (please remember my memory is very
fuzzy), Tolkien really believed God and Jesus and so on, and that
probably defines him a Christian (IMKO).
So. I believe that
is popular debate topic, I just don't follow any debates or take
part on them or anything, not to mention I've noticed
any..
Anyways. Well, I've read the books only once, and won't
ever read them again, so I might not remember everything. But I
think same; I don't think they were about Christianity or God. Just
like you said, the battle between good and evil isn't necessary
related to that. Maybe there were some "references" to God or
something like that; can't remember much but if I remember correct
there was shortly said that some humans stared to some morning and
spent some quiet moment, probably something like praying, dunno.

My toenails need
clipping.
The church's stance on Harry Potter is one that I still can't come
to grips on at any level. Nothing about it promotes any form of
so-called 'black magic'--if anything it promotes 'responsible
witchcraft'. Witchcraft is a legitimate, yet incredibly
misunderstood practice, and there's nothing 'immoral' about
it.
IMKO, Harry Potter is doing nothing but good for the
general public, bringing the issues of the 'paranormal' to the
forefront of our culture's awareness and keeping kids' minds open to
the possibilities of the supernatural. Though as Ilsoap says, it can
swing the other way and alienate the world of magic to the realm of
'Mere Imagination' (it's unfortunate that, on the whole, imagination
is deemed unimportant in today's world, but that's another rant
entirely).
ż Speaking of another rant entirely, I searched
for some Googleness related to J.R.R. Tolkien and the way he created
Lord of the Rings, and found this article, which
conveniently enough was also about game development.
GS:EA
In the end, Tolkien didn't really think of himself as "creating" his
world, but more as bringing to light something which already
existed. When someone once asked him a question about Middle-Earth
for which he had no answer, he made a note in his diary: "Must find
out." Not "must think of something" or "must make something up," but
"must find out." Tolkien was not a novelist creating a world, he was
a historian documenting one that he could see in his head.
Btw:
everything between ż and ? is besides the point.
Both movies are works of
'art'. Just like Michaelangelo's David--and you don't see people
running around streaking because of it, do you? Though it could make
for a viable scape-goat--after all, we can blame all our problems on
violence in video games and movies, why not sculptures depicting
full-frontal nudity? (I know, I'm resorting to rhetoric now... I
just had to use the analogy somewhere).
Anyway, my point is,
Xky for mayor. ?

Evil capitalist
swine...
I thought that Harry Potter was a great idea that was actually
quite new and inspirational, but now that the coporate Warner Bros.
fat-cats have jumped on the bandwagon, I view it as an overmarketed,
unoriginal mess. Due to time constraints, many of the best parts of
the book have been stripped out, meaning that those who haven't seen
the movie are missing out greatly.
I actually admit to
falling asleep in the middle of HP1 - I missed out the whole forest
scene
! I never went to see the second movie after hearing that it was
worse than the first one, and I think the third one will be even
more pureed crap-in-a-bap, stewed by marketing execs until all
traces of humour, passion and originality are stripped from
it.
Also, HP is no longer an original idea. So many books,
games and TV shows have ripped it off that you can't see the book
for the cheap rip-offs that can't even be bothered to change the
stereotype.
"Uh, boss, what are we going to print
next?" "We will print another HP rip-off! Everyone loves
those." "How we going to do that?" "Well, we'll just get a
copy of the books, change a few words and the names of the
characters, and we're done!" "Great one boss! We're going to be
rich!!!"
Ahem.

Re: Evil

Books = yay! Movies = meh All other merchandise =

I'm not sure why some people think HP is evil. Probably
just yelling at it because it's popular. Like with Pokémon, and all
the people saying it's demonic, while similar but less
overmerchandised shows get away without any complaints about
them.
And it's not the church in general, it's only some
churches that are against HP. The Salvation Army's Warcry
magazine had a feature article a little while ago about HP *not*
being evil...

You answered your own
question Keenrush. I know very few Christians no matter how strict
who consider Lotr as evil. And yes it's a biography.

Yeah, but that stuff don't get ant publicity.Its in the background,
but you don't see it in the papers.
On a side note, HP is
evil, the movies, the toys, cards, etc,etc, all designed to suck
money outa gullible little kids. Ever notice that the books are
getting longer? [And I know why. I wonder if Beetoven would've
published more music if he had been wired up to a car battery? Het

I have two nice books, Barry

the unessecary sequel. Both a good laugh. See also Sluggy Freelance.

Uh, LevelLord, the parodies are named 'Barry Trotter' not 'Harry
Potter'.
I've never read them, and i'm not going to, but i've
seen those two books at a book store not too long ago.
It
seems that the parodies are pretty much summing up what happened in
the Harry Potter books with the proper nouns spelt differently.
Pathetic.
Harry Potter is a splendid read, I had finished reading
Philosopher's Stone this week for the second time, going on to the

Re:

Or possibly, "Since we can make ourselves better, why not force
improvement on (or better yet, destroy) those who are too stupid to
improve themselves"
Example: Human growth hormone, origional
use, to promote growth in a small number of genetic dwarves who
couldn't produce any. Current use, as a performance enhancer and to
make 'short' children grow taller through years of painful forced
injections. [And they have to stay on it, if they're taken off they
stop growing.] Whats better, there will always be short
kids!
So I wonder when (not if) our ability to improve
ourselves will cause people to treat those with physical and other
disabilites as freaks [Lookit that cripple, moron should get a leg
job!]
And believe me, it will happen, how many people want GE
food? [Which is already being forced apon us.]

longer books are
better.
To get this back on topic...
Quote:
Ever notice that the books are getting longer?
I think it's good that the
books are getting longer. It means that the publishers are allowing
the author the freedom to write how she wants. Unfortunately, a lot
of publishers will refuse to publish a book unless a writer shortens
it, sometimes for reasons as trivial as the price of paper.

HP is not even close to being evil, I've debated with my Youth
Pastor over this a few times. I personnally think the only poeple
who don't like them, are the ones who haven't read them.

OH MY NONEXISTENT GOD!
Read this Jack T. Chick comic. It's
