Oh blah, blah, blah. The man is obviously one of the sort of people who have existed throughout time, who burn witches and/or books for being heretical, who killed Galileo and Plato (if I'm not confusing myself, of course ) etc.

Thank you Lyra. It amazes me how many people who call themselves Christians insist on telling everyone else how evil they are. I find that evil deeds are usually the result of peoples intolerance of others.
Did this person even read LotR. Magic and spells did not defeat evil. The destruction of the ring was accomplished through the faith of Frodo and the love of Sam for his friend; not through a muttered incantation. Likewise there are many good values in the Harry Potter books. Friendship, love, trust all matter more in the outcome of the stories than how powerful a spell they cast.
I am a Christian, teach Sunday School, read the bible and send my daughter to a Christian school.
I also encouraged her to read both LotR as well as HP and other fantasy writings.
This so called Christians time could be much better spent spreading God's word through love and kindness rather than judging other people.
