A lot of Christians are against Wizards in general. And also, I think that Harry Potter has been stereotyped as a non-Christian "evil! Stay away!" kind of book for a lot of people. My mom did research, and some even take it to the extreme with misinterpretation. They say that his scar is a Satanic S and he talks to demons in disguise or something like that....which is not true and not intended. When I read them I saw the Christian themes coming through because of Rowling's background. Friendship, self-sacrifice, love. But it can be a stumbling block for Christians, so each to their own. I adore Harry Potter. But if others don't, that's okay.

It's not a sin to read them. It's a sin to start waving around a wand and say that you'd rather believe in witches and wizards than in God.
