Don't you think Harry Potter encourages witchcraft and black magic? Aren't conservationists worried about it?

I don't believe it encourages anything beyond having a vivid imagination. Because that is what fiction does, it stimulates your imagination. I don't think people are going to start jumping off of buildings thinking they can fly on brooms.

I think it does. At the grocery store the other day I herd a child ask his mother if she would buy some Newt tails and moth wings to make a potion. It is ridiculous.

There is no such thing as magic so anyone who is encouraged to try it will be practicing fairy tales

It may encourage teenage boys to spend more time in the bathroom thinking about Emma Watson.

Conservationists? Why would people who plant trees and stop soil erosion care about Harry Potter?
-
and the brothers grimm encourages eating children and living under bridges I doubt if vivisectionists are all that bothered either.

At first I worried the kids in my life were drawn to the magic theme out of escapist tendencies. But then I read the books and realized the message was quite the opposite: they were less about magic and far more about taking responsibilities for your actions (and your prejudices). A good example for kids and the rest of us. I love the books now.

Aren't religious zealots worried about everything, including going to the crapper? I personally don't like the Harry who Potted, but it's far form being evil. It's entertainment, that's all.

I think it is good for the imagination.If Harry Potter has magical powers that makes it an interesting story.Why ban movies or books that a minority of people appose????

I don't think people are being encouraged to look at witchcraft or black magic. As someone that has seen real magick used in the world (to help someone live) its amazing how a kids story can bring out the question. Harry Potter stories are a great way to get kids & adults reading-which is a real gift from J K Rowling. Reading can bring out the best in people - I have seen kids not wanting to read - actually pickup the bible & read it. (After having read some of the kids books available first)
