so, tell me, why is it ok for gandalf to use magic (witchcraft) but for harry to not? Or is it just because Tolkien was a christian?
J K Rowling is a Christian as well.
Originally from The Times of London, late June 2002
Meanwhile, Rowling remains a member of the Church of Scotland and keeps saying, "I believe in God, not magic." She also has stated that the magical elements in her books come from her studies in British folklore. This means she is trying to tap some of the same wellsprings as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein and even Charles Dickens.
Last year, Rowling told a Canadian reporter that she is a Christian and that this "seems to offend the religious right far worse than if I said I thought there was no God. Every time I've been asked if I believe in God, I've said, 'yes,' because I do. But no one ever really has gone any more deeply into it than that and, I have to say that does suit me. ... If I talk too freely about that, I think the intelligent reader-- whether 10 or 60-- will be able to guess what is coming in the books."
