I think I know why some people are concerned. There are some kids who, because of Rowling's fantastic writing, really start to believe that there's a Harry Potter somewhere in Britain and that they could get accepted to Hogwarts. On one hand it's kind of sad, because their hopes can't be fufilled, but on the other it's nice that kids can survive mass-marketing with their imaginations intact. I'm not kidding either. There was some interview with JK Rowling and she said she would always get letters to Professor Dumbledore (I love that name) with kids begging to be admitted to Hogwarts. When the books first came out a kid in my class swore he had a portal to Hogwarts in his basement and could go through and visit Harry. Personally I like the books, and don't think their evil, but I can see why some people think that. That's my opinion and I'm not going to get involved in the Satan/God thing 'cause I'll just offend more people. But I'll say this: With no evil in the world, with no adversity and hardship, would we be as strong as we are? Without challenges we will spend our lives stagnating (wow that sounded poetic)
