Benedictine monk says HP is OK


There have been some resenters of Harry Potter from some religious communities, putting Harry Potter and many banned books lists, but a Benedictime monk doesn't agree. Fr. Luke is publishing a book titled "Baptising Harry Potter: A Christian Reading of Harry Potter". "I do not think there is any intelligent view out there that says these books are evil. They are the sort of objections that come from people who have not read them. I don't feel at all that the books were leading children away from Christian spirituality. They are full of Christian themes of love and sacrifice," he said. -Mugglenet.
