Harmless my foot, there are children out there that know how to make 'spells' via Harry Potter before they know a single Christian prayer.

 

[willows68]

Harry Potter, a harmless children's franchise, is what did you say Bocht?

T'isn't, Sir. Nothing whatsoever harmless about these books.
I am pro book. Got thousands. Guard them. Dust them. Read them over again.
I have not a single Harry Potter in my house nor ever had. My children were not allowed them, either. No.

I was going to ask you which you think would be easier for a child to distinguish between fantasy and reality, Harry Potter or hell.. but then I thought, why the f*ck would I ask you (my mind just has a natural tendency to think of you as an adult)

Apart from everything else they are derivative. Third hand - if that. Dumbing down an entire generation never mind from the obvious heathen drift. Abominations altogether.

Open your eyes. Harry Potter is not just a book. It is Satan’s gospel for children — a trap dressed up in magic and wonder, leading millions by the hand straight toward damnation.

Every spell, every ritual, every curse in those pages is not fantasy — it is an imitation of the occult, a counterfeit of the forbidden arts God has condemned. And when a child speaks those words, even in play, they are inviting darkness into their lives. They are calling on powers they cannot see — and powers that will answer.

Scripture is clear: “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them” (Leviticus 19:31). “Let no one be found among you who practices witchcraft or casts spells” (Deuteronomy 18:10). Yet here we are, handing children a manual of witchcraft and cheering while they recite it like bedtime prayers. This is not ignorance — this is rebellion against God.

And rebellion is the devil’s fingerprint. Look closer: Harry and his friends lie, disobey, deceive, and dabble in death to achieve their goals. That is Satan’s gospel — evil dressed up as good, darkness dressed up as light. Exactly as Isaiah warned: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).

This is not entertainment. This is indoctrination. The Potter phenomenon is nothing less than a worldwide church of sorcery. Children don robes as if they were vestments, chant spells as if they were prayers, wave wands as if they were holy relics, and gather in temples called “theme parks.” It is ritual. It is worship. And it is not God they are worshipping.

Revelation prophesied this: “By your sorcery all nations were deceived” (Revelation 18:23). Look around — it has already begun. Nations, schools, even churches have embraced this filth. It is the softening of the world for the final deception — the rise of the Antichrist.

The children raised on Harry Potter will be the adults who take the mark of the beast without hesitation. They have been trained to hunger for magic, for symbols, for rebellion. When the Antichrist comes offering “true” power, they will follow him into the pit — gladly.

Harry Potter is not harmless. It is the serpent whispering once again: “Eat… and you shall be like gods.” And millions of children are eating it up. Parents, do not be blind. If you allow this poison into your home, you are handing your child’s soul over to Satan himself.

This is not about banning a book. This is about eternal life and eternal damnation. By the time you realise what has taken root, it may already be too late.

Choose this day whom you will serve. But know this — every copy of Harry Potter on your shelf is an open door to hell. Burn them, before the fire burns you.

Eh, encouraging kids to read and use their imagination is dumbing them down?

If you really believe that JK Rowling is one of the lizard people then that's your prerogative

 

[Mad as Fish]

I must confess I have never read a Harry Potter book nor watched a Harry Potter film, I long ago simply dismissed the whole damn franchise as a just another hyped up money spinner for whoever managed to attach themselves to it, this is the first time that I have encountered the notion that they contain real spells that can be enacted.

Two points, if I may, to counter the prevailing sentiment of the above posts. Firstly, the dismissal of spiritualism strikes me as an attempt to silence the opposition in an ancient world where disciplined belief systems were being formed and competition was fierce for the attention and commitment of individuals. Secondly, if we are gong to bandy about biblical quotes then might I suggest Corithians 13:11 - 'When I became a man I gave up childish ways'.

When you say organic I understand you mean that they they took off by themselves and yes, I would agree to a point, but when the money men see a snowball start to roll they pretty soon jump in and start heaving away to encourage its momentum and growth.

Yeah, for sure

Interested in the phenomenon, I've tried watching the film but I couldn't do it, it doesn't do anything for me but who's to know if I was a kid. I remember reading Roald Dahl's The Witches when I was a kid and they had a movie of it too that I still remember. And that was spooky shit as well you know

She may well be a Daughter of the Eastern Star. Nothing but derivative drivel in her books - mostly borrowed material
Her billion $ success seems somewhat unduly fortunate for her mediocre literary bequest. There were hands up involved, no doubt.

Just as a matter of interest, if HP is a collection of spells and sorcery then what are we to make of Macbeth? Is it a warning of the inevitable doom we will experience should we dabble in the occult, or just a good yarn?

 

[scolairebocht]

I think its a warning alright, and interesting that Shakespeare associates Scotland with the Occult.

See Jimmy, this is why you are stuck on the scratcher, wasting your life away in front of a screen all day while real life passes you by. You see something in a video that confirms a bias and you jump all over it.

Plenty of people use em dashes. People who happen to write Stage Plays for example. They’re not a new invention.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Turn off your screens and step outside and speak to one of your neighbours, go for a walk in a local park. Get a ticket for one at the cinema.

Just do everyone (including yourself) a favour and stop wasting your life away. You only have one life.
