This being only my second post in here, I'm a little reluctant to take on such a controversial issue, but what the hey!

Y'All might as well git to know me right off the bat!

I have two children, ages 10 and 12.
They havent shown an interest in the Potter books, and I have not introduced them into our library, but I would like to share my biggest fear.

I'm not as worried about them turning my children into "witches" as I would be worried about the books presenting witchcraft and other forms of devination as foolishness, or as "make believe."

God warned us frequently to stay far from these practices. They are very real and they are very dangerous.
My fear is that people may become desensitized to the dangers.

If that happens, they may begin to view things like Tarot cards, Ouiji boards, etc, as harmless little games of make believe, which I would see as contrary to the teachings of scripture.
