Harry Potter and the Half-Baked View

Harry Shot First!



Since I personally know parents that won’t let their children read Harry Potter due to its themes of magic and wizardry, I found it particularly humorous that the Pope has also spoken out about the dangers of reading Harry.

A) I hope the copies of the latest book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, ordered by the Vatican from Amazon.com are actually read and analyzed before making any further judgments

B) What would the Pope suggest as a healthy, safe and fun alternative for young people? Become Altar Boys? Wouldn't that also fall under your "subtle seductions, which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul before it can grow properly.” Naw. Couldn't be.


Do your job, parents. Read the book along with your children and discuss any issues that do not agree with. Oh, wait. Can you read well enough to get through seven hundred pages?
