You claim (in your next post) that you simply came here looking for some unbiased information on the Harry Potter information. That's cool and all, but that's not at all what you posted. Here's your original post:

There are three unfounded accusations in this post. First, that the movies are demonically inspired, second, that they contain real wiccan spells, and third, that J.K. Rowling is not a Christian. This really doesn't sound like you're looking for information. Instead, to quote yourself, you "look like an arrogant bigot." I appreciate the apology and I'm glad you've come to your senses a bit, but be careful about flinging accusations around like that.

Now you've made another accusation: that the movies "show bad to be good." This is incomprehensible to me. Unless you're assuming that a fictionalized account of blatantly fake magic is "bad," your accusation makes no sense. If anything, the books and movies are ridiculously black and white in regards to good and bad, except perhaps in regard to complex characters like Severus Snape who are in a somewhat grey area. In general, though, the bad guys in Harry Potter are ridiculously bad and the good guys are pretty dang obvious as well. Of course, they all have complex motivations and make mistakes and such, but there's never too much question as to what is bad and what is good.
