Read For Yourself, Think For Yourself!


These literally just touch on the tip of the iceberg. There are so many parallels that can be made between aspects of the Harry Potter series and Christian teaching. There are so many examples from each of the themes that I mentioned. But not only on Christian themes, but also just on cultural issues. For example, racism. The house elves and how they are treated by most wizards and witches versus how Harry and Dumbledore treat them. They take a more Christian approach to their interaction with the house elves. There really is so much for our young Christian population to learn from these books and movies, if parents are willing to take the time to engage in the process of education. I hope that I have at least opened your eyes to some of these themes and ideas. Ultimately, you should read the series and think for yourself. You won't regret it!
