Harry Potter = Witchcraft?
Hi guys,
I've been reading Harry Potter a lot, and I am wondering, is this classified as Witchcraft, which as a result, is a sin and is demonic?

no, it's classified as fiction, mediocre fiction at that, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise on either point.

noooo HP is great!! I think JK Rowling includes a lot of positive values/messages in her writing. And yeah, it is fiction like TEH said. So enjoy!

No.
You're safe dude. Whoever's been saying it's witchcraft is off their rocker.

Thanks guys. I've been hearing from my family, and some religious leaders that Harry Potter is witchcraft.

It's important to do two things:
1) Analyze everything for yourself. Don't take other people's word for it. Everyone views the world in a unique manner.
2) Don't take media too seriously, that includes music, movies, television, and even the news sometimes. Media is what it is. Movies, music, and television are meant to be entertaining. And the news, is often biased in one direction or another.

Tom619,
If you believe your tag "He is worthy to be praised" then seek the answer from Him and His Word and don't let the opinion of others, either on or outside this forum influence you. Here are a few Scriptures to start, please seek out others on your own and allow His Holy Spirit to guide you.
2Chronicles 33:1-6
Galatians 5:19-24.
