Attempting to justify something as dark and violent as the Harry Potter books or movies is bad enough, but trying to gloss over all that evil by saying they are helpful parables, teaching us about good and evil, is just pathetic. If you like this stuff, that's your call, but the fact remains that it is the carnal mind enjoying these. If you're going to rebel against truth, at least own up to it. BYU should be ashamed, as should anyone denying that these are godless and macabre stories.
@DownWithThe4eleven so, let me guess, you've only seen the movies, right? I've always been told that it's "better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt" but this goes far beyond just being foolish.
@DownWithThe4eleven Excuse me, but have you ever even read the Bible? Dark. Check. Violent. Check. Macabre. Check. Hell, there's even some incest/rape/sexual harrasment going on at some point.
Christ taught in parables, there's no reason he wouldn't want His children to learn the themes that the Harry Potter movies teach--to remember that love and friendship are stronger than evil; that sometimes we must choose between what is easy and what is right. I think this is freakin' awesome.
The truth stands: people are different and like different things. Accept the fact and move on with your lives.

@DownWithThe4eleven Dark, violent, carnal, godless, macabre? Have you read the books? Sure, I'll admit it's not the Bible, but seriously?

For those that have a problem with it, one doesn't have to like the movie or the book to enjoy the music. And it's beautiful music.

I don't think Jesus or Joseph cares....they have more pressing things to worry about like saving souls. Just enjoy the journey (bells)

i wonder if Jesus and Joseph would be very happy to have their school bell tower used to promote a hollywood production about witches and wizards.
