Let us just have a little discussion here about how absolutely insane and terrifying it as that people actually think that Harry Potter is a book about evil.
The title of this blog was a quote taken from the website www.godhatesgoths.com/godhatesharrypotter (the official site for parents against goths, in case you were wondering). The author goes on to say that J.K. Rowling is "straight from the pits of Hell," that the Harry Potter books are "Satanic," and that it encourages the readers to work with "actual demon spirits."
Take a step back and reevaluate your life, please.
Let's break this down really fast here. One of their arguments is that names such as Hedwig, Cliodna, Nicholas Flamel, and Agrippa are names of actual witches and wizards. Well, gee, I wonder why this book about witches and wizards uses that names of actual wizards and wizards. Oh, maybe it's because the books are about witches and wizards.
This next argument might just be my favorite, because it is so absurd that is makes me laugh until I cry. This article states, AND I QUOTE THAT "DUMBLEDORE WAS A FAGGOT PEDOPHILE, AND WAS GROOMING HARRY POTTER FOR HOMOSEXUAL SEX."
I, in the most literal sense of the phrase, can not even.
Just reading articles like this, and I assure you that there are many of them, makes my blood absolutely boil. Why would people accuse a simple book about love, friendship, family, and the defeat of evil as being evil itself. Yes, there is evil in the Harry Potter series. I can think of infinite things that Voldemort did that were unforgivable. But the only people that were following Voldemort were the people that Harry and his friends were working hard to defeat. Anyone's argument is invalid. Harry Potter is not a book about evil. It is a book about overcoming evil.
And also, I cannot think of one single time that Dumbledore was 'grooming' Harry for homosexual sex. "Hey, Harry, can you please help me defeat the most evil wizard of this time? Yeah, and also, while you're at it, take your pants off." No. That never one happened.
So I don't rant on and on for hours, I will end this post here. I promise that I will write more about this topic.
Until next time Potterheads!
UPDATE: If you click 'Enter this Site as a Goth' on the homepage of www.godhatesgoths.com, the welcome letter is started as "Dear Loser." So I think that all credibility if pretty much wiped off of this site's map.
UPDATE AGAIN: This site is also associated with 'God Hate Retards' and 'God Hates Women' and all four of the sites are run by a Reverend, so this is just fantastic.
Your voice and humor is so fun to read. I appreciate that you can show the, um, shall I say, idiocy?,of those who think Harry Potter is "an enemy of God!" (To quote Becky Fisher).
