Harry Potter, and the fuss about it

@ 04:54 AM (16 months, 13 days ago)
Watched the latest in the potter movies the other day....Great movie!  The tone is getting a bit more mature as the story goes. The first book was "cute and a bit cuddly" in nature. But as Harry gets older the tone gets more dark and sinister. Not for little kids anymore! Im a big potter fan though. When my little girl gets a bit more mature, she can read the later books...lol.....Any how whats so humerous about the whole series is how many (bible) thumpers are freaking out about it..."I'ts the gateway to SATAN! , your being desensitised to evil and witchcraft, it's promoting demons,,,ect and the list goes on.......Now i'm not the very churchy type, but I am religious, and a bit spiritual, and I havent sacrificed anything yet because of the books, other than the money to buy them lol...In fact , I wasn't even going to read the books until so many people griped about them. I had to see what all the ruckus was about.  Well.....I liked the books they were a great read!  I HAVE THE LAST ONE ORDERED...YEEHAAAA...I think those wackkos out there are having control issues, they wan't you to think what they want you to think.  You know kinda like most of the organized faiths. They don't want you thinking for yourself, they want all the money you will cough up....aka tilton , swaggert, roberts, and a host of others. There is even a website devoted to warning you about how to stay away from potter, sponsored by some pastor!  Now that Rowling is stinking rotten rich, (you go girl) and no longer destitute, Im just waiting for the lunitic fringe to start suing.......I fell off of a four story building, because I thought you could fly with a broom, and broke my back gimmie money, or better yet, have PETA get involved and sue on behalf of large snakes for giving them a bad reputation...lol...or have Real witches sue because they don't like being potrayed as they are in the movie.......Just read or don't read the books, and you be the judge for yourself.....and ignore the fuss.....riff
