Harry Potter

[ByTheSpirit]

How dangerous are shows and movies like Harry Potter? I went to a golf event today and when I came home she has a certificate of witchcraft from Hogwarts and a bunch of other stuff. Now I know it's not real, but I'm curious what kind of danger she may be putting herself in. I guess where does entertainment cease being entertainment?

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Gal 5

Our youth director advised us - if Jesus was standing next to you, would you do it?

Since you are a believer,, He is there.

I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

She is not a believer though

In my opinion having read English literature of that type before, I found her storytelling pretty common for that genre. Even C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia has those elements. The pure fantasy hocus pocus presented in Harry Potter is nothing like actual witchcraft. But who are you talking about? A child? If so what age?
