So I didn't go watch Harry potter because...

I found out it has profanity and they use the name of the Lord in vain. Now my question is does that matter?

Is it ok to watch Harry Potter? I'm stuck on that one xd I want to see it but I don't know if I should or if I shouldn't. So yeah any answers would be very much appreciated. My brothers going to go watch the new one this sunday I think... so yeah if you could answer it before then that would be so awesome!

To me, Harry Potter is fine. Sure it's about an unholy practice, but it sends a message. My mom pointed out when we were watching the forth one (Goblet of Fire) when Harry was dueling Voldemort in the graveyard after he killed Cedric she said that that was her favorite part of the movie because it said what satan does to people; he makes them feel beaten, like there is no way out of it, but you keep going with help from loved ones and faith and that helps Harry win.
But of course, that's just me. If you think that it goes against Christ, no one's stopping you from thinking that.
God bless. c:

It's just fiction. It's okay to read anything you want really.
Also, Harry Potter has a very good message to it, care for the ones you love, triumph over evil etc. So it's not like it's setting a bad example for anybody.
(I could talk about other books that do set bad examples for people, but I wont.) ;P

Just because it's about "witchcraft" doesn't make it bad. (It's not even invoking Satan or anything like that anyway.)
Now if you start to believe that Harry Potter is real and run around trying to curse people and stuff, you've got problems, but those problems are probably beyond the book itself.

Also, I need to get around to seeing the new movie. D:

It's a fiction series. There is nothing wrong with it. I don't see a problem with watching Harry Potter. I can't wait to see the the final installments of the series.

Saying that Harry Potter is bad because of magic would be to discredit the entire Chronicles of Narnia for magic is used there also, but yet the Chronicles of Narnia and specifically the author of that book is placed next to the Bible.

Hmmm true... Ok thanks! I guess it's a yes then! THANK YOU ALL! mrgreen

Personally I love Harry Potter but I love the Lord more. Really as long as you dont believe in what is in the book and God is still first in your life then it is ok to like.

It's a very good movie. I actually just went to see it. I know that the bible says magic is bad and stuff, but seriously they celebrate Christmas in the Harry Potter world O;

J.K Rowling is careful not to mention why they celebrate christmas, because that might spark some anger among un-religous folk.

But anyhow, yes, it is a very good movie. <3

well I thank you all for your replys but I didn't go watch it because of the profanity and blasphemy in it.

:/

Okay. If that bothers you then you don't have to see it.

I still want to see it though.
I see profanity and blasphemy on a daily basis, yeah it's very bad, but that's the messed up world we live in... I guess I'm somewhat jaded in that respect.

I see it everywhere to in my house, outside, etc. but I think there's a difference when you didn't know it was there to when you willingly go and pay for it as pastor Tim Conway said.
