I have never heard of any kids being lured into the occult.
Hmmm...Well, really, anyone who delves into the occult has in some way been lured by the demonic to do so. In any case, I know of a couple of tweens who borrowed texts on witchcraft and the occult from their local library as a consequence of watching Harry Potter. They wanted to see if there was any way to tap into "magic" for themselves. Not an unexpected response from children to the fantasy of HP - especially if it is subtly encouraged by the demonic, which works to influence us all in some way. (Eph. 6:10-12)
All of my kids read the series, and not one of them tried out any spells and none of them have been "lured into the occult". They know it's fantasy. It's no less fantasy than any other book or any other movie they have ever seen.
Okay. But what is true for your kids is not necessarily true for all other kids who have watched or read the HP series.
So there's nothing "inevitable" about it. Unless you have some proof of that.
Actually, if you read what I wrote more carefully, you'll see that I didn't say reading or watching HP would lead inevitably to the demonic but that investigating the occult would have such a consequence.
