Good vs Evil

Within both the world of religion and the world of wizardry, there are differing sects or views. In religion these are denominations such as Catholicism, Buddhism, and Islam. In Harry Potter the division is mostly between the good and the bad. They are separated and often times battle one another. This can be paralleled to the battle between good and evil and to the spiritual warfare that all Christians experience. Spiritual warfare can be defined as the daily battles fought by Christians between following God’s will and following the misguided desires of our hearts. In Harry Potter, the choice between good and evil has always been stressed by those surrounding Harry. He constantly has to make the choice to be good. On the other hand we see Voldemort who is choosing to be evil. Children should be aware of this battle between good and evil, for it is going on even inside themselves. There is certainly a benefit to having knowledge about this battle. It makes one much more informed when making decisions for good or for evil. The Harry Potter series simply exposes them to the idea that they have a choice.
