The Power of Potter

Read it to me...Seven years ago it started with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. My daughter was seven. Hadley received the book from her grandmother, and I started reading to her in my corny English accent, and making up voices for the characters---Dumbledore, Ron, Hagrid, Hermione, Harry and ultimately Voldermort.
My daughter became enchanted with Harry Potter--she loved those corny voices, and the tradition began--every night my daughter came to me saying "read it to me." We finished the first book, and each time a new Harry Potter book came out, she came to me saying "read it to me."

Stuart James,
I am very surprised at you! I have tolerated your other emails but this one takes the cake.
Unwittingly, you are introducing you and your entire family to witchcraft, pure and simple.
Please burn these books and repent for having reading them and having them in your home.
If not already, your home might begin to experience some strange things...your daughter might begin to start acting differently, i.e., rebelliousness, eccentricity, withdrawals, bad dreams, etc., don't take her to an unsaved psychologist...No, please sir, take her to a deliverance ministry quick and in a hurry. A deliverance ministry is not exorcism. With deliverance, Jesus is the sole deliverer.
A good deliverance ministry can be found at Abbas House (Central Baptist-Hixson).
I hope that the Bible will begin to replace those demonic books in your home and that you and your family will find the Bible as interesting reading moreso than the Harry Potter series.
I love you and your family enough to tell you!
P.S. Please know that in the position that you hold, you will be held at a higher level of accountability for introducing demonic activities to other families.

Mr. Walker, I must say that I disagree. I am Stuart James' daughter, the supposed possessed vessel that you described in your comment, and I will tell you that I am a Christian girl. I know Jesus's love and the power of salvation.
Harry Potter is my single favorite book series of all time. It is not an evil book. It does not encourage witchcraft or evil. No one believes Voldemort is the hero. In fact, by your comment, I doubt you've even read the books.
Harry Potter is about the power of love and sacrifice for those you care about. There is darkness and evil, yes, but it is overcome by the power of light in the end. If you had even glanced at these supposedly 'evil' books, you would know this. You would understand that Harry Potter is a lesson in how good will always triumph, even in the darkest of times.
Books are beautiful things, all of them. I would never take a flame to any book. A book, to me, is a cherished and loyal friend.
I hate it how you can be biased against a book you have obviously never read. I suggest YOU go to a bookstore and educate yourself before you go on an anti-Harry rampage.
Christianity is about love; so is Harry Potter. Think about that.
Sincerely,
Hadley C. James
