The Evil of Harry Potter

“She lov’d me for the dangers I had pass’d; And I lov’d her
that she did pity them. This only is the witchcraft I have us’d.” --Othello, from “Othello, the Moor of Venice,” by William Shakespeare
Forgive the author for the little witchcraft. For alchemists, sorcerers, and witches ruled the world during the Middle Ages. And still do today. Because about now a Catholic faithful in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico or Lourds, France, is on their kneel expecting a miracle; somewhere someone is consulting a shaman, voodoo priest, or witch doctor; another is checking a horoscope, ouija board, crystal ball, tarot card, or reading the features of their face, or their palm. Elsewhere, somebody is trying to find interpretation on tortoiseshells or the yin-yang symbol, or shaking a fortune stick out of a container, or wearing a “Saint” Christopher medal or “good luck” charms; while others are finding meaning in broken mirrors...more

233448 It's also "Lauryn Hill", not "Loraine Hill." I'm not sure why I'm mentioning that typo out of all the possible ones to point out, but I am.

273412 I think that was an intentional typo. This person is obviously a sick, twisted individual who feels it's his right and responsibility to suck the life and fun out of anything, including a completely HARMLESS and POSITIVE series of novels written by an extremely gifted woman. Jealous much, Arthurbookhouse?

129891 Its nice to see that even sophisticated Goodreads is subject to the same levels of crazy that the rest of the internet is.
Not really sure what the argument was here, but it was hi-larious!

1233034 Wow. I'm impressed. I want some o' those 'shrooms you're having, man.

No, seriously, this "review" reminds me of the song "Pollution" by Limp Bizkit, for various reasons...

1159175 Arthur,

I am suitably scared that you are allowed to walk around with the rest of us. Please, please see a doctor about getting meds and therapy!
