A little background helps a whole lot in understanding in what you are dealing with.

Notice how everything in that article about Maitreya comes from - y'all ready out there? - Ben Creme. Boy, is that ever a wondermous coincidence, or what?
I'm just glad that it's Ben Creme's character who's the antichrist rather one of Mel Blanc's. The idea of Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck as the beast of Revelation would just be too much.
BTW, I'm thinking of starting an "Ask Napoleon" thing where I "channel" Napoleon Bonaparte. All I have to do is talk a little higher than usual, speak in a phony French accent, and claim to be the Corsican Corporal his own self, and no one will be able to prove that I ain't. Then for a small fee folks will be allowed the privlege of consulting with me, er, that is, Napoleon, on matters of military tactics, 19th century politics, shortness, or any other subject that seems good to them. I should be able to beat Maitreya all hollow, especially if I distribute 10% discount coupons on the net.

If a hollywood mogel decided to make a movie, then the audience just got larger after a big hit. Think about the following of Harry Potter and the influence on our children today.

Jesus walked on water, walked through walls, doors opened for Paul and on go the miracles as examples to us all of what is capable of happening.
Creme talked of masters, and there are masters out there who can do things that are beyond the norm.
Baba is one of them... http://shirdibaba.org/pm/ht.htm

But why are we as Christians acting as though there was single shred of credibility to this stupendous crock of excrement? Too many of us are tacitly endorsing this wretched charlatan by acting as though his made up character had some reality of his own! Think about the following of Harry Potter and the influence on our children today.
You mean the improved ability to read?

And thus we shift from endorsing one lying huckster to endorsing another. Good grief, when will we stop propagating the lies of crooks and con artists? Every time the new agers perpetrate another piece of flummery to deceive and defraud the gullible, well-intentioned Christians fall all over themselves to be the first to claim it's true! Whose side are we supposed to be on, anyway?

Harry Potter is full of witchcraft... and other junk... while the children may be reading more, their minds are being filled up with hocus pocus.... That is the part that I am concerned about.

If he's not real, our raised concerns will be moot. If he is real, then people should be warned.
What you're doing is trying to minimize the warning by claiming you know for sure its not true. Only God knows what's coming, Jipsah.
Nobody is saying this guy is 100% legitimate, what people are saying is that there is enough there to raise alarm bells.
