Harry Potter Books Banned For "Real Spells And Curses"

[GLDF]

Conservatives are hilarious.

[Des-Bal]

I'm shocked that people who claim to regularly turn crackers and wine into a dead guy have weird ideas about magic.

[Grimmsland]

Ah! Reminds me of the good ol' days when thee could just stick another witch on the fire if it were getting chilly.

Witchhunts are probably to a great extant sexual in nature. Otherwise it is hard to explain the gender disparity. Seriously..a large part of them is probably sadists looking for a legitimate excuse to torture and kill women for fun.

This right here should stand as conclusive proof of why organized religion is ridiculous. They're afraid of a damn children's book. Like how much more ridiculous can you be? Real spells? WHat!!??

[Locus Praemonstratus]

Why do you care so much about someone burning Harry Potter? Seriously, what is the point of this thread?

You do not care about the revelation that magic is not only real but that Harry Potter is a fully functional spellbook ? Think of the possibilities !

The greatest spell the Harry Potter series cast was convincing people that it is any good and thereby inform the political views of most people in this thread.

The greatest spell was when jk rowling turned characters into woke identities years after she published the books

I don’t know if he actually consulted with and exorcist, but if he did he would’ve gotten the advice he appears to have taken.
Worth noting that exorcists are drawn from demographics that already dislike Harry Potter for non-witch reasons and are then trained to have a hair trigger on anything occult.

No, the greatest spell was the one that let wizards poo their pants and then disappear the poo. No wiping needed.

Even if the books were worse than twilight, this adult man is still claiming in all seriousness that the spells in Harry Potter are real.
Now go tell your wife you'll engorgio something in the bedroom.

An adult man who believes in magic. The crazy things religious people believe are almost never crazier than being religious.

This is a good thing. Harry Potter books acquaint children with demons and the occult. Kids should be raised on the classics, not occult nonsense.

This is me reacting to your post with mocking amusement

Kids should have good books with real literature value and good moral values.
And journalists should face penalties for using Harry Potter references, unless they’re Chronicles writers, in which case it should be Pride and Prejudice.

Please pardon my ignorance, but are you two being sarcastic or sincere? I’m unable to tell and I don’t wish to make any unwarranted assumptions, after all.

Yep. There is plenty of fantasy work suitable for kids - LOTR and Narnia come to mind - that carries good teachings without encouraging occultist behaviour. With Rowling attempting to force homosexuality into her books, there is even more reason to oppose her work.

One hundred percent serious.

One is curious as to what you consider "the classics."

Ah, understood. Given that NSG is a text-based form of communication, it’s difficult sometimes to tell. That being said...

I’m inclined to agree somewhat with your assertion that the Harry Potter books lack serious literary merit, although they make for a decent amusement/diversion. However, I take issue with the statement that they encourage pursuit of the occult, in so far as the fictional magic system presented in the books bears only a superficial resemblance to “real” occult practices. The Harry Potter books are more akin to junk food than meth, if you catch my drift. They lack serious value, but are for the most part harmless provided one exercises a modicum of good sense.

Well there are countless books that are classics. The Iliad, the Oddysey, the Divine Comedy, the Aeneid, Don Quixote, The Canterbury Tales, Crime and Punishment, the Brothers Karamzov, Notes from Underground just to name a small few.

Of course I wouldn't just limit it to them... there are many great books authored in the 19th and 20th century, such as the LOTR series, Silence by Shusaku Endo, The Diary of a Country Priest by George Bernanos...

I’m inclined to mostly agree with you about the occult, but assert that they normalize more typical immoral behaviors, such as defying authority. Of course this isn’t a criticism unique to Harry Potter, but it is something relevant to consider.

Harry Potter isn't even remotely occultist. It's just a silly book. I would know. lol

Some good recommandations those are.

This guy has the right of it, I'm going to raise my kids on Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh, that way they only associate with hardcore drugs and only having imaginary friends instead of real ones.

They will surely turn out better.

I do concur that the normalization of rebellious attitudes in children’s books is a problem, yes. I personally was never fond of such when I was younger, since I’ve always (for the most part) been of the view that authority figures are to be respected by default. Perhaps that makes me a “bootlicker” as one of my former acquaintances put it, but nevertheless I stand my ground in that regard.

I am insufficiently familiar with the Harry Potter books. I believe however a lack of our societies problems are derivated from the lack of positive role models in mass media, or rather the abundance of negative ones. Not everyone can be a teen idol or a cardassian.
