How many Christians out there have or would read/watch Harry Potter?

If you wouldn't why not? I know that not everybody likes reading books like this or fantasy films, I'm more interested in why as a Christian you would refuse to read/watch Harry Potter?
If you haven't read or seen any books/film then do you have an argument? If so what is it?

I have a view on the stories and also a reason why The Harry Potter series can be a danger to young people. Actually you'd be very surprised at what that danger is.

I would like to hear your views.
If you are a Christian and you enjoy the books/films what do you think of them? Do you think they are negative in any way? In what way?

Of cause you don't have to be a Christian to answer this question, its just that many Christians have preached against the series. Please give your views too.

I have read the Harry Potter books and seen the movies. I enjoy them and I am a Christian. I feel that there are some concerns with the series but if you know who you are and whose you are then just enjoy the adventure that you go on while reading a fanasty/adventure book.

Super Bowl 2012: Power Ranking Matchups That Would Bore Us to Sleep

By Eric Ball Larry French/Getty Images The Super Bowl matchup needs to be a good one because either way we are going to be subjected to two weeks of endless hype and storylines.

Daily Bible Study: Principles of Kingdom Living #1 Authority Of The Word

LESSON 1 THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD By Dr. George Watkins (1) What is the Bible? The Bible is the Word of God. The source of the Bible is God, and all scripture is given by the inspiration of God. Inspiration means that the Word was “God breathed”, or divinely created. God purposed that it be beneficial to us as a governing or guiding factor in our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) says that “All scriptu

Devotional: Awaiting Formation(s) In Your Life

Cave formations are slowly formed by water moving over the rock’s surface, depositing layers of minerals over a period of time. Although they have not taken as long to form as evolutionists claim,1 a casual observer of an active stalactite or stalagmite may only understand it to be nothing much more than a pointy, wet rock. However, if you could have the opportunity to observe the beginning yea

Sony developing Transformer Prime rival that runs Windows 8?

There appears to be three schools of thought when it comes to how you should interact with a tablet. The first, and most obvious, is touch-only. Then there are touch plus stylus offerings like the Samsung Galaxy Note and Asus Eee Pad MeMo. Finally, there are convertibles like the Asus Transformer Prime. It’s that last category that Sony appears to be eyeing up, though they’re going to go the Windo

Daily Bible Study: Dwelling in Unity

By: Glenn Washburn Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Daily Bible Study: The Holy Spirit and His Work in the “Born Again” Believer

[ ART | MUSIC | KNOWLEDGE| HEALTH ] When Jesus was physically on earth He had asked people to believe in Him and follow. Jesus said to His disciples that He was going to leave and go back to where He came from, Heaven (John 3:13; 6:38.) But He would not leave us without a Helper; he called Him the comforter, (another like himself). In Jn.14:16 Jesus says to the disciples, soon to be apostles

Daily Bible Study: Conversion from Sin Lesson #2

Lesson #2: Conditions for Receiving Forgiveness (Part 1) We have learned that all people have committed sin, bringing upon themselves the penalty of eternal punishment.

Sounds like a dream candidate, right? But imagine that, a
