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.

i wish forgetting you was as easy as getting into

your underwear.

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 find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad-  the
dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

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.
