| | Harry Potter (character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Harry managed to thwart Voldemort and survived a confrontation with him on account of the protection afforded to him by his mother's final act. | | | He took Harry on an expedition to retrieve a supposed Horcrux, an object that contained a piece of Voldemort's soul and which would have to be destroyed in order to render Voldemort mortal. | | | For example, in the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, he initially does not want Ron and Hermione to attempt to locate the philosopher's stone with him. |

| | The complaints allege that the books have occult or Satanic themes, are violent, and are anti-family. | | | The book The Hidden Key to Harry Potter: Understanding the Meaning, Genius, and Popularity of Joanne Rowling's Harry Potter Novels, written by John Granger, a Reader in the Orthodox Church, claims to uncover Christian themes in its analysis of the story. | | | This is how the narrative of the novels unfolds; Harry is the Pole, and all of the action happens around him or to him. |

| | The Problem of Harry Potter - Harry Potter: Pro and Con |
| | Rowling has kept her Harry as a schoolboy, and his friends Ron and Hermione are even more convincingly well-rounded schoolchild characters. | | | Writing on "Harry Potter and History," Owen Dudley Edwards writes that by now children should be deep into illiteracy and books close to oblivion, but Rowling has turned the tide. | | | Steven S. Tigner is equally convinced that the Potter books show "a Right Imagination." While the confrontations between good and evil are sometimes violent, he writes, Rowling has been careful never to muddy the distinction between what is pretend and what is real. |

| | Harry Potter - Pampered jock, patsy, fraud. By Chris Suellentrop |
| | His parents were killed and he was fostered by abusive relatives who treated him as a slave and locked him in a cupboard nightly. | | | But that would be very unHarry-like because one of the lessons of the books is that Harry has learned to ignore people telling him how worthless he is and to find his own meaning in life, despite all adversity and, most of all, to take care of himself as best he can. | | | Pure happenstance is the only reason Voldemort is unable to kill Harry: Both their magic wands were made with feathers from the same bird. |

| | Harry Potter’s author does it by creating a captivating world where strength, wisdom, love, hope – all the good gifts God promises those who follow Him – are now offered to those who pursue occult thrills. | | | and wizardry in Harry Potter books may be fantasy, but they familiarize children with a very real and increasingly popular religion – one that few really understand. | | | The thunderbolt scar on Harry’s forehead marks his peculiar psychic strength and triumph over evil. |

| | Straight Talk on Harry Potter |
| | This is NOT the vision of the universe that a Christian parent should wish to instill in their child — nor is "white" magic an appropriate response to evil. | | | In real life, if Harry’s parents were really magicians or wizards, they would be demonized to their eyeballs. | | | The morals presented in the Potter books are anti-God and anti-Christian. |

| | Harry Potter |
| | Even Harry, who is the "hero" of the series, bears striking resemblance to Lord Voldemort, his mortal enemy and the most evil wizard around. | | | Among other things, Harry finds out he is a Parselmouth, which means he can talk to snakes. | | | During the tournament, he not only told Harry beforehand what the task would be, but also took the answers that Harry gave to him (after getting them from someone else). |

| | What's funny is to compare this with her reply to the people that accuse her, Harry Potter and her readers of being satanical weirdoes that practice sorcery for real and that they form a sort of evil sect. | | | Rowling will not approve a Harry Potter RPG because she's dead set against allowing persons other than herself to put words in the mouths of her characters. |

| | CM Magazine: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. |
| | In other books in the series, Rowling has been careful - perhaps overcareful - in setting the scene for the story, making sure, for example, that the reader really appreciates just how dreadful it is for Harry living with those awful Muggles relatives. | | | The someone - once again, of course, - fails, but the attempts and the failures make a wonderful story. | | | One thing about this series of books, however, is that not only does it get kids reading; it keeps them reading! |

| | But the real accomplishment may be that for all its brevity, it still feels like it tells the important parts of Rowling's story. | | | Gone from the story: the usual intro featuring Harry Potter's obnoxious relatives, any scenes of the boy wizard learning or experimenting with magic, most of the conflict between him and his rival Draco Malfoy, and so forth. | | | The fourth installment in Rowling's Harry Potter series catches up with the returning cast of the first three movies as they enter their fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where a traditional three-school wizarding competition is about to be held. |
