Fred and George crack me up ALL the time with their sarcasm. I love it when they give their mom a hard time.  Hilarious.

There is no character named Circe in the books.
All the names have been made up except one. The name of one of the new students in book 5 I believe was a real person. She was dying of cancer and her mother wrote to JK Rowling. When the girl died, JK Rowling made her a student. Besides that, none of the characters are real people or demons.
Have the christians who have told you this read the books or are they going by second, third, or even fourth hand information? Can they provide a list of the so-called 'real demons' in the book? |

My parents are believers in "If it's not in the Bible, it did not come from God"
Then I remind them about electricity and indoor plumbing.  LOL |

Ummm they told me it was on a website but i can't find it atm so i'll have to get back to you on that one. Anyway i think we should all contain a positive out look toward each other cause i don't really enjoy coming to a christian website and arguing. Anyway i don't know if the names are real demons but neither do you so i don't think either of us has the right to start accusing one another |

Reps: 10,587 (power: 21) | | | i've read SS six times, CoS five times, PoA well over 10 times(Sirius Black is my favorite character, burn fifth book burn), Gof five times, the stupid losing horrible OotP three times, and now i've finished HB-P in 18 hours so i'm a little bit addicted. i'm pretty darn sure i know what the seveth hocrux is(i cannot spell that) and there's something interesting about Snape that i figured out but i don't want to say it in case someone hasn't read the book yet. so PM me if you want to hear my predictions.
