Don't these books ever stop? I mean, I understand the hype and how it can come and go, but this seems to be lasting like the battery and bunny.

Potter Harry

Does anyone ever wonder about the phenomenal success behind JK Rowling's Harry Potter's books? According to what I have read, Rowling was a single mother trying to raise two children and chose to create Harry Potter, in hope of making some money. She used to write in a coffee shop while waiting to collect her kids from school. When she wrote her first Harry Potter book it was an instant success. But the interesting part of this story is, many witches (yes real witches) contacted JK Rowling and asked if she was a witch! Why? Well I believe all the Harry Potter books contain "spells" and these witches (the ones who contacted her) are claiming that these spells are real! Could this be a part of an elaborate publicity stunt used to sell more books? Recently, I saw on the news that a Harry Potter book was highlighted for a "spell" that was mentioned in detail in the book. It is fascinating to know that when the witches contacted Rowling to inquire if she was a witch, her response was that, she did extensive research at the library! I guess we will never know! Very plausible answer but it still makes you wonder doesn't it?

I think kids enjoy reading these books for the spells in it! I believe that parents should not encourage their children to read or view Harry Potter books or movies since it clearly sends the wrong message to impressionable minds; it makes the world of witchcraft very glamorous, acceptable and not evil.

Sorry, but I personally find that very untrue. Many of my friends are fans of the series and they do not read them for the "spells in it". I was unaware that some people actually thought they were real until you posted that. What I and my friends see is a great story (that's it, a story) about good and evil. More than a few instances in the books can be related to stories in the Bible (I can name a few if you'd like) and thus reinforce moral values to a generation that's pretty lacking in said values. I seriously doubt that kids are converted to occultism because of the books. Yes, it is becoming more normal for people in this day and age to become occultists, but that is due largely to the deflation of values and the lack of warning of the dangers associated with the occult. The Harry Potter series degrades dark magic and it reinforces the concepts of moral values as powerful weapons against it. For example, the power of love is stressed upon without end as a means to defeat evil. If anything, I think the books *help* kids, especially to a generation of kids that are more at risk of any other to becoming disenchanted with the moral values that once were the norm of old. Just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Hello Macfresh! It is a pleasure to hear from someone new to the forum. I always try to keep an open mind when I am here. You seem to be an avid fan of Harry Potter. I am guessing that you have read all the Harry Potter books? I still have to wonder if Harry Potter did not possess any wizard powers, do you think kids will still read his books?

You mentioned that there are stories in the Harry Potter books that are similar to those in the Bible. Please enlighten me on all this! I also value your opinion on all the moral values that you have learnt from reading these books.

I am surprised to learn that you were unaware about the spells which JK Rowling uses in the Harry Potter books are real. JK Rowling claims that she usually changes a word or two in the spells, just in case kids decide to try them. I remember a report on CNN which indicated that a group of kids were performing a "Harry Potter spell" at school. So you see, children are at a stage where they are very impressionable and may not know the difference between good and evil. They are also very curious and try to imitate everything they see, hear or read. And this is why I stated that Harry Potter books portray witchcraft as glamorous and acceptable.

I look forward to reading your response Macfresh!

Victims of DUI drivers are in hospitals fighting for their lives, children are being kidnapped out of their homes, police are struggling to find criminals guilty of gruesome murders and now people are signing a petition to beg JK Rowling, to save the life of a fictitious character!
