Re: Does Harry Potter promote the Occult?

Christianity in all its forms is facing something of a crisis, so it seems they've chosen to respond by claiming a monopoly on moral behaviour. The same sort of attitude was levelled at The Golden Compass - that Pullman is an atheist, therefore he promotes immoral behaviour. Absolute bollocks, of course. Non-christians are as moral - or even as amoral or immoral - as christians. Harry Potter might well feature wizardry and witchcraft, but that has nothing to do with any moral framework the books might promote.
