I know a few Christian's who refuse to read or even watch Harry Potter and I was wondering if anyone one here is Christian and will not read or watch it and why wont you?

I need to run away to find out who I am.
I need to stay and face what I've become.

I'm ...Christian, i guess you could say...

and I read/watched the first four, then just kinda stopped.

The reasoning behind people refusing it? Promoting witchcraft.

im an atheist, so not me personally, but i know some people who wont because they believe that the magic promoted in HP is evil and shouldnt be allowed in literature.

Haha, its an alternate form of religion ((implys wicca or paganism ect))
Christians don't like alternate religious views perhaps?

I also know a few people who don't watch/read Harry Potter. It's sad, because the series is really good!

I'm a Christian and I laugh at the others who refuse to watch it because it's "evil."

It's fiction! I'm tempted to make a comment that would annoy you, but I shall resist.
