3 Months ♥

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince hits theaters, (7.17.09). (I CAN'T WAIT)!!!! It is the 6th movie in a 7 part series, (well, 8 part series because they will make the 7th into two movies). I am very pleased that this movie gets a PG rating. I appreciate that the director decided not to push the envelope. There is some kissing in this movie, as well as death, but obviously they kept it nice enough to get the PG rating, and for that I am thankful.


Many of you may be wondering why a Christian like myself would be a fan of Harry Potter. Ignoring the fact that it is about wizards, you may be wondering why I would like it after this post. Well, out of all the secular movies and books I got rid of, I kept my Harry Potters.

First of all, it is fantasy. The Wizard of Oz has witches and other fantasy, but it is accepted by Christians. Why not Harry Potter?

Now, I do not approve of Twilight, but I do approve of Harry Potter.

After I was saved at 16, and becoming a fan of Harry Potter, I had to make a decision. Was this book evil or not? Well, I decided it was not and I have much data to support my claim. I intended to write a book on the subject, but J.K Rowling still had 2 books to publish in the series, so I planned to wait until then to write the book. However, Granger beat me to the punch by publishing this book: But as I said before, J.K. had 2 more books to go in the series, so Granger's book only covers the first 5. I have read this book and found that all of my data is completely different from Granger's, so maybe I will still do my book one day. As for now, I am rereading all the Harry Potter books, and I am collecting all of my godly data. I will compile it all in a written form- publish later, maybe- this is really for me and other parents out there that want to allow their children to read Harry Potter and to be able to point out the godly principles.

If you want me to give you my findings when I am done, (give me a little time... I am on book 4 and once I finish book 7 I will have to write it all), just let me know. Also, be sure to check out Granger's book. While the Bible is the most important book in our lives, I think fantasy is still acceptable. The books are very well written with twists that are mind blowing. Some of the godly elements have actually moved me to tears, and that is why I cherish this series. J.K. did not intend to make an analogy of the Christian faith, but it just goes to prove that God is everywhere and that He does exist!
