> Fathers: I think some are allowing suspicion and anxiety inordinaterly
influence them over this whole Harry Potter Hoohah. Children are
reading, they are learning there is a world of good and evil and from
what I've read of the Boy at Hogwarts this is about as 'exciting' as
Jack In The Beanstalk or Snow White (The real version not the Buena
Vista extrapolation). Lets engage the children in an authentic dialogue
and see what Christian values can be deduced from these stories they
enjoy. Blessings. GDVW+                                                 
                                                                        
                                                                        
I echo Father Perkins thoughts. Two years ago, after the initial Harry
> Potter fad, I was having a conference with one of my second graders and
> his mother. He was a big Potter fan. During the conference , he showed a
> notebook in which he told me he wrote down his "spells" in order to
> remember them. I asked him if he was a witch and he said "no". I think
> this Potter phenomena is an inducement to something much more dark.
