Re: Does Harry Potter promote the Occult?

I've found it for you:
Paw Creek Ministries Charlotte, NC Churches :: Churches in Charlotte, North Carolina

As for The Golden Compass and The Da Vinci Code - I don't think they should be banned either, but I would separate those out, because Phillip Pullman does have an agenda to attack organised religions, and the Da Vinci Code does make some sweeping statements about the Catholic Church.

On the other hand, JK Rowling was celebrated by the previous Pope for her Christian values. Her books do not attack Christianity and the Vatican and will gain nothing if they take a moral high ground. This was the same Pope who tried to cover-up paedophilia by Priests when he was a Cardinal. Considering all the dangers kids face today around the world, this is what they deem important.
