The article The Reality Of Harry Potter by Maria de Guardiola describes something I have to deal with in my life. I am a christian but at the same time I love Harry Potter. The conflict this has brought into my household is immense.My parents believe all these things about the book yet they have never read one.I can not believe people dare to claim all this things, like maria said, with out educating themselves on the subject.I believe all they do is complicate themselves by trying to find a hidden meaning instead of paying attention to what was written in the surface.Maria I agree with you some people just do not open their mind to new things and are way to conservative.
