The Church of England published a guide advising
youth workers how to use Harry Potter
to spread the ‘Christian’ message. The guide, published by Church
House Publishing, encouraged youth leaders to use the Harry Potter
books and films as a ‘launch pads’ for exploring ‘Christian’ themes.
In an editorial by Abigail BeauSeigneur on
a website devoted to Harry Potter (mugglenet.com) the author states
“The story of Harry Potter is, and always was, a ‘Christian
allegory’ - a fictionalized modern day adaptation of the
‘life of Christ,’ intended to introduce
his character to a new generation....” She continues, “...knowing
more about her [Rowling’s] religious beliefs is not just crucial,
not just enormously significant, but will blow the whole thing
open, so that ‘even a 10 year old will be able to figure it
out.’”
Author John Granger, a respected Christian
publisher (Tyndale House), applauds alchemy and sorcery as a pathway
to God, “The Harry Potter novels... address the need... we have
for spiritual nourishment in the form of edifying, ‘imaginative
experience of life in Christ.’”
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. My
response: “Woe to those
who call evil good, and good evil... “ (Isaiah
5:20)
Rowlings a Believer?
“The story of Harry Potter is an allegory,”
observed Peter, a former temple-master in an occult order. “It
is written and packaged to look like fantasy when, in truth, it
is a carefully written true description of the training and work
of an initiate in an occult order.” Peter continues, “...everything Harry does is an extension of his
belief system. His foundation is in magic through will.
The concept that magic
is an extension of will is
a foundational occult truth and is diametrically opposed
to the Christian concept of will where every born again believer’s
individual will is brought into submission under Christ.”
