The Pope Hates Harry Potter

Guess what? The pope hates Harry Potter and he's not the only one.

People have protested the books and movies since they first came out. Their reasons are varied and stupid. They judge the books without having read them.

One of their reasons is that it's a book about a teenage wizard. OOoooooooo, magic. Who cares? The other reasons include that people die and it gives and askewed view of good and evil.

I think that the books have a simple meaning. That good cannot win without sacrifice. Like when Harry's mother gave up her life for her child therefor saving him. A few people give up their lives so the ones that they care about can live, and people that they don't even know and that will never hear of their sacrifice can have a better life. What nobler meaning can there be?

So, what if there's death in the books? Death happens even in real life. Oh, well enough ranting for now.

Ummmm...let's talk about video games and movies and the violence.

This might just be that this is a FEMALE author and the men don't like how much money she's making.

Yep, I've been working with the boys long enough to know that's EXACTLY what the problem is.
