About this ebook
Answers to the Burning Questions Christian Parents, Educators, and Others Are Asking about Harry Potter.
In the world of publishing, few successes have equaled that of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series—magical stories centered on one boy’s adventures at Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry. 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?”
Find out what the Harry Potter books really say about witchcraft and wizardry.
Hear what Christians on both sides of the debate are saying about Harry Potter—and decide what you believe.
Learn how you can use the series to protect your child from real occult influences.
In What’s a Christian to Do with Harry Potter?, you’ ll explore the valid concerns some Christians have about the series, sort out the fact and fiction at the center of the debate, discover biblical answers that may surprise you, and learn how you can tap into this powerful cultural phenomenon to help advance the kingdom of God.

Some people need to climb down from their high horses and study the whole picture before jumping to conclusions and accusations such as can be found in these. The author of the series, quite more of a renowned christianthan the author of this book, has been attending her church and donating money to it for the last 16 years. There is absolutely no blasphemy in her words or works. She has said, and I quote "I believe in God, not magic." Having said that, satanists, themselves do not believe a god or satan.
