If Harry Potter is bad, why isn't "The Chronicles of Narnia"? Or even Cinderella. In Narnia, they have magic and in Fairy Tales they have magic. So does this mean we shouldn't read or watch anything with magic in it? I'm really confused about this because I enjoyed Harry Potter as a kid and now I'm worried that maybe other things are wrong. Please help me out with this. Thanks!
If Harry Potter is not bad then it must be good. And if Harry Potter is good, then being a Witch and a Wizard practicing spellcraft must also be good. If Harry Potter is good, then Chronicles of Narnia must also be good, for there is Witchcraft and Wizardry in them as well. Therefore, practicing Witchcraft and Wizardry must be good. And if Chronicles of Narnia is good, then Myths and Fables must also be good, because Chronicles of Narnia is both Myth and Fable.
Therefore, Witchcraft, Wizardry, Myth and Fable are all good.
Right?
Exactly! That's why I'm so confused!
Therefore, witches, pokemon, Disney and Winnie the poo are all equally good.
Yes?
I don't care for harry potter, narnia, or cinderella. I think these things, can be mined for lessons though.
I am more Puritan in my approach though.
Therefore, as long as witches, pokemon, Disney, Winnie the poo and Chronicles of Narnia have good endings, they are good.
There is a way that seems right............ smh
That doesn't make them good.
I shall set no evil thing before mine eyes.
What does make them good?
Don't you wish you could be like Harry Potter and get the Wand, the fame, the money and the girl along with it? Can't all that be yours through witchcraft and wizardry?
As long as you have a good, solid Magick Wand and some good encantations.
Some people are too busy with those things. But then again, the people who are too busy are not really people like Harry Potter. People you like Harry Potter are people are see something of themselves in Harry Potter.
He was abused, he needed liberation. Hogwarts provided that. He was weak, he needed power. Wizardry provided that. He was an orphan, he needed mentors. They were made available. He was alone, he needed a girlfriend. It came through the magickal environment. Harry Potter's life changed from pauper to prince the day he discovered the Wizard within himself and took up the magick craft.
And that is the kind of person Harry Potter is for.
How do you know magic is not real? If I deceive you through sleight of hand, it is magic, yet is it not a real power of real deception? And if the wizards of Egypt could turn Wands into Cobras, then maybe you could too with the right training from the right mentor.
Magic is real, and it does work. That's how it was in the past, and that's how it is today. The thing is, God specifically prohibits it - it is evil, and very dangerous. Those who practice it often give up their priceless, immortal souls, for something worth far less than even the entire world.
It's magickal, isn't it..
Part of you wants to live in Harry Potter's world.
There is part of him in you now.
You have a Harry Potter Horcrux planted within you.
And you thought Harry Potter was just a children's story.
Cinderella seems like a story that appeals to little girls. Narnia is pretty good. As for Harry pothead I never saw the appeal. A goofy looking British kid does magic? Yeah I'll pass.
