While most of the children in the world and adults alike enjoy reading the Harry Potter fictions
and watching the Harry Potter movie, some conservative Christian ministers and religious leaders
have criticized the Harry Potter phenomenon as extremely evil. In the written documents, they
repeatedly argue that the author of Harry Potter intends to teach children to show disrespect for God
and for their religious beliefs. They further explain that many stories in each volume of the series of
Harry Potter and in the film are contradictory to the Christian teachings in the Bible. For example,
children are taught that moderate drinking is acceptable and that there are "good" witches in the
world. Christian ministers around the world have been watching and passing around a documentary
videotape "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged," which claims that the tales lead kids to the study
of supernatural forces, and that the Harry Potter phenomenon is incompatible with Christianity. "I
believe this is more than a fantasy," said Reverend Dan Larson, who is a senior pastor at Good
News Assembly of God in St. Cloud, Minnesota. "It's not just harmless entertainment. Specifically,
the books of Harry Potter include things like sacrificing human beings, practicing to own evil-like
spirits, and sucking human blood."
