Christians Can Love Harry Potter Too...Jul 18 '07 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line I think Deathly Hallows will show Harry Potter is not only not anti-Christian but is right up there with The Chronicles of Narnia... I wrote this poem several months ago in reaction to the many complaints I still hear about the Harry Potter series. The Christian community seems to be divided on this one, but I long ago decided where I stand... In Defense of Harry I'm never sure how to respond When I hear people denigrate Harry. They've been blasting him since Long before Half-Blood Prince And warning parents to be wary. This boy with a broom and a wand Has caused such an unholy commotion, And some people think He leads kids to the brink Away from good Christian devotion. For "witch" is a word that is cursed By the pious and God-fearing masses Who aren't sure if they should Even look for the good In a book touting wizarding classes. But I ponder which message is worse: That the boy with the scar must be hated Or that in stories of Moral fiber and love, Some magic should be tolerated. I don't have to wonder for long. My thoughts on this couldn't be clearer If they leaped from the haze As I patiently gazed With intent into Erised's mirror. It is possible that I am wrong, But whenever I sift through the noise, I am sure God is love And that He is above Flinging lightning bolts at orphan boys.
