Hebrews 13:4,
"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
From the moment Harry Potter first reared his ugly head, God-fearing
Christians knew that it was likely going to be more than just a movie. It
became a series of movies with a cult-like following. The response from
society was overwhelmingly in support of the little witchcraft-wielding
sorcerer. Hundreds-of-millions of young people around the world are now
devout followers of the Harry Potter phenomena, which makes it extremely
dangerous spiritually.
While multiple movie sequels of Harry Potter have praised Satanic occultism,
sinfully teaching the craft of witches, one question has always loomed in
the mind of caring Christians who love the Lord Jesus Christ and hate the
evils of witchcraft . . . where is Harry Potter leading children? The most
recent Harry Potter production, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
appears to answer the question.
Early in the movie, Harry Potter
(played by Daniel Radcliffe) is filmed asking an attractive African girl
(Elarica Gallagher) if she'll go out with him after work that night at 11
p.m. Dumbledore then arrives and takes Harry Potter on a quest to see
something, thus ruining Harry's date. Dumbledore later tells Potter that he
apologies for denying him a night of pleasure. The entire spirit of the
scene implies sexual immorality (fornication). This has become the prevalent
sinful attitude of the world today, i.e., that it's acceptable to have sex
outside of a marriage commitment for the mere sake of sexual gratification.
It is wickedness. Harry Potter sends a wrong message to children. Why is
there mild sensual content in a series targeted towards children in the
first place? There is no talk of marriage or making a lifetime commitment in
Harry Potter, Hogwart's students are simply wanting to have sex.
It is sad that people need to
sexualize everything. It is evil. At another scene in the Harry Potter
movie, Ron Weasley is filmed in a passionate kissing scene with actress
Jessie Cave. They search for a hiding place in the castle to become
intimate. Towards the end of the film, Harry Potter himself engages in a
passionate sensual kiss with actor Cho
Chang (Katie Leung).
Is this the type of garbage that children ought to be seeing? All of
the first Harry Potter movies were rated-G, but the last couple have been
rated-PG because of their violent and now sensual content. The latest in the
series, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, warns parents of
mild sensuality in the movie. What's the use of providing a warning?
This clearly shows where the Harry Potter series is leading children... into
a lifestyle of fornication and sexual immorality. It all begins with the
mindset that sex is permissible outside the bounds of holy matrimony.
According to Newsweek...
"Hogwarts
has become a hormonal minefield, navigated to mixed results: Hermione
pines, Harry ogles, and Ron full-on snogs, spending a good chunk of the
movie glued to blond classmate Lavender Brown. Brown's shrill,
teen-queen glory is brought to life by Jessie Cave, a 22-year-old
Londoner and newcomer to the franchise."

Christian parents must reprimand
and expose the Harry Potter series for the evil witchcraft that it is. It
shouldn't come as a surprise that in a wayward generation of baby-killers,
homosexuals, strippers and adulterers that society as a whole has also
embraced witchcraft. Witchcraft is a horrible sin that brings the judgment
of God. Teenagers need to beware of the Harry Potter series, because it is a
vehicle of demonism that leads young people away from God.
"Last time I checked, the Harry Potter books were a
children's series. Sure, the audience grew up as the characters aged,
but this is not adult fiction. And I mean that in both respects of the
term: The books aren't targeted toward adults, and they're not supposed
to contain graphic descriptions of a sexual nature."

Sex and the
'Harry Potter' movies: Does anyone want this?
The message being taught to
children from the latest Harry Potter movie is blatantly clear, i.e., that
pre-marital sex is acceptable. The Bible calls it the sin of fornication.
1st Corinthians 6:18 and 7:2, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth
is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his
own body ... Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” Fornication is against
God's Law; It is a sin.
Follow the Money
The following information is
quoted from Pepperdine Campus Ministry.
It puts into perspective just how much money the filth mongers are making in
the porn industry. Certainly, Harry Potter is not considered hardcore porn,
but to DELIBERATELY lead young people into thoughts of lust, sensuality and
becoming sexually intimate outside of a marriage commitment is a big step in
the wrong direction. The following statistics should upset you if you love
God...
Porn Runs The World
This world is
rife with moral decay. Doubters need only look to the
evening news or the vacant church pews for confirmation.
That and the fact that the porn industry utterly
dominates our society.
Think we’re
exaggerating? We’ve got the numbers to back it up. As
big as you think porn is, it’s bigger, and its influence
on modern society is deeper.
Porn —
Hollywood
“Hollywood
cranks out around 500 movies a year to an international
audience of 2.8 billion. Its closest competitor, India’s
Bollywood, makes about 1,000 movies a year, but 50
percent aren’t released and 95 percent of those released
are financial flops. This is unfortunate considering
every Bollywood clip we’ve ever seen has been absolutely
amazing.
In 2008, The
Dark Knight alone grossed $533 million domestically and
over $1 billion internationally, certifying it in the
top five highest grossing films of all time and a crown
jewel in the Hollywood empire. It’s just further
evidence that the institution of Hollywood cannot
possibly be bested in any way, and certainly not by the
data in the following paragraph.
As early as
2002, about 11,000 adult movies were released per
year–more than 20 times the mainstream movie production.
To meet current demand, a new pornographic video is
being created every 39 minutes in the U.S.
In 2005, there
were approximately 425 films released in Hollywood,
including a Star Wars prequel and a Harry Potter movie,
with domestic grosses of $8.597 billion. That’s very
impressive. In 2006, the cumulative grosses for porn
videos in the U.S., leveraging video sales, rentals,
mobile phone content and Internet revenues–came out to….
Are you ready?
$8.65
billion.
About the
same, and that’s minus the billions Hollywood spends on
promotion. Oh, and we’re going to take a wild guess and
say that the combined budgets of every porno shot that
year wouldn’t even pay for the CGI in the opening
credits of a Harry Potter movie. So, yeah, we’re
thinking that $8.65 billion is pretty much all profit”.
Porn — Pretty
Much Everything
Remember at
the beginning when we said as big as you think porn is,
it’s actually bigger? We meant it.
Microsoft,
purveyor of the operating system used on most of the
computers in the world, reported 2008 profits in excess
of $16 billion. ExxonMobil, the world’s largest publicly
traded company and number five on Forbes’ top 2000
companies, posted 2008 profits of $40.6 billion. Though
there is little in common with their industries, they do
share one common bond: porn revenues spank them both.
In 2006, the
sum of international revenues from pornographic videos,
sexual novelties, magazines, “dance” clubs, pay-per-view
and Internet was approximately $97 billion.
Can you even
wrap your mind around that number? Try it this way:
that’s larger than the combined annual revenues of the
NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball.
Still not
impressed? Well, our domestic revenues for pornography
are larger than the revenues of Microsoft, Google,
Amazon, eBay, Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix and EarthLink
combined.
This means
$3,075.64 is being spent on pornography internationally
every second. To put that in perspective, when
ExxonMobil posted a quarterly profit of $11.7 billion
last year, the largest in American history, they were
effectively making $1,947 less per second than the world
of filth mongers.
When you start
talking about money this big it’s not even fair to
compare individual companies, so we just made the jump
to entire countries. If you compare porn revenues to
Gross Domestic Product, the market value of all final
goods and services from a nation in a given year, it is
bigger than Morocco.”
Making money
is one thing, but making money by preying off of people
and causing them immense pain and strife is quite
another. Don’t think porn is negatively affecting our
world? Keep reading.

Pornography and Sexual Sin
Instead of teaching children
fidelity in a marriage relationship, Hollywood is teaching them to become
whores and whoremongers, i.e., that it's ok to have sex with as many
partners you so choose just as long as you're not married. I'm not judging
the man, not at all, but Gene Simmons publicly brags about having committed
adultery with thousands of women. Yet, he is honored and praised by American
society. Even though it's been decades, people still haven't stopped
condemning Jimmy Swaggart. A Rock 'N' Roll celebrity can fornicate with
hundreds of women (groupies as their commonly called) and society is ok with
that; but just let a preacher fall one time into sin and he's labeled as the
scum of the earth for life. Things haven't changed much in 2,000 years. The
Jews cried out for Barabbas (a murderer) to be released; but demanded that
the holy Son of God be crucified to death. The world loves sinners; but
hates Christians who love God.
Harry Potter Witch,
Emma Watson, Related to Real 16th Century Witch
This newly discovered fact
certainly makes one wonder if this is the entire reason why Miss Watson was
chosen for the role in Harry Potter. Will she one day lead a campaign of
sympathy and re-empowerment for witches?
You think Emma Watson won the
coveted role of Harry Potter's pal Hermione Granger just because of her
talent and beauty? Actually, it turns out magic was always in her blood
– the British actress can trace her roots back to a real-life woman
accused of witchcraft in the 16th century. According to genealogist
Anastasia Tyler of Ancestry.com,
the 19-year-old actress is a distant relative of Joan Playle of Essex
County, England, who was convicted of witchcraft in 1592 and
excommunicated from the Church of England.
So that's why the public finds Watson so enchanting …
"It's not every day we're able to trace the branches of a family tree
back to 16th-century witch trials," Tyler says. "Combine that with a
celebrity connection to Emma Watson and the fact that she plays a witch
in Harry Potter: You couldn't script it any better."

Emma
Watson Is Related To a Real Witch!
The Word of God groups witchcraft
together with the sins of hatred, adultery, envy, idolatry, drunkenness,
false doctrines and murder...
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and
such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God” (Galatians 5:19-21). Note: All Scripture references are from the
trustworthy King James Bible.
God hates witchcraft and so should
we. God also hates every other sin. There is much joking on TV and in the
newsmedia these days about homosexuality and other sins. The purpose of such
jesting is to DESENSITIZE society to the horribleness of these sins. The
more that Late Night Shows, television programs and the newsmedia joke about
sin, the less offensive sin becomes to society, and those sins eventually
become commonplace and accepted. In sharp contrast, the Bible raises
awareness to the awfulness of sin, which is why It was banned from public
school curriculum in 1963.
Thankfully, God doesn't change
(Malachi 3:6), and His Word never changes (Matthew 5:18). God hates and
disapproves of sin just as much today as He did when He destroyed the world
by flood in Noah's day. God has been longsuffering and patient (2nd Peter
3:9), while men continue to rebel against His holy Word and disobey the
Gospel. God's patience will eventually cease and the wicked will be humbled
and brought low in judgment. All sinners who refuse to obey the Gospel of
Jesus Christ will be punished with flaming fire in Hell for all eternity
(2nd Thessalonians 1:8,9).
Harry Potter is of the Devil and
he's leading young people into perdition. The amount of influence that the
Harry Potter series has upon the world's youth today is massive and tragic.
Hundreds-of-millions of children and teenagers hinge upon every word spoken,
every implication made and every sin glorified by Harry Potter. Only God
knows where J.K. Rowling and the evil movie producers are planning to lead
Harry Potter followers next. One thing is certain, there is far too much
power at their command for Satan not to use it for his purpose—which is to
kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). Harry Potter is growing older and so
are his followers, who idolize him and his immoral lifestyle. As a
Christian, it's obvious that the stage is being set for the coming man of
sin, the Antichrist. Harry Potter is continually referred to throughout the
latest film as “the chosen one.” Will Harry Potter have a role?
