For all of those who have defended the harry potter series..........good for you, i agree completely. as many of you have said, the harry potter books arent meant to offend christians. they're meant to entertain and encourage the imagination. witchcraft isnt the basis of the story (although it plays an important role) the basis is good vs. evil. REAL LIFE PROBLEMS. i know for many people, including me, harry potter has been a role model for them. not that they want to be a wizard or do magic. they want to have the courage to stand for whats right, they want to be like him beacause he has great character. i think thats exactly what J.K wanted to make her novels for.................that is all i have to say
