		<description>[Coerce] please note what I said in response to point 3 about the few &#039;misguided&#039; kids and the role of parents. 

About the book promoting withcraft - aside from the fact that &#039;promoting&#039; means actively involved in and so is misplaced here since the books were not meant to promote witchcraft - you could easily say that every book, movie, sport or game that protrays certain actions &#039;promotes&#039; it and should be banned. So the argument is weak there. If we follow that line of reasoning we would ban everything from pro-wrestling to the Bible.

Your personal belief that Harry Potter &quot;... is the promotion of witchcraft&quot; should not infringe on the right of those who do or do not believe it does and still wish to read it.</description>

		<description>I really like your points and the mere fact that u showed both sides of the coin. But i am one of those who personally believe that Harry Potter promotes witchcraft. Just as how Power Rangers is about fighting villans and saving earth, the impressionable children that are primarily targetted, have in many reports &#039;jumped off roofs&#039; because they are the Red or White ranger and they &#039;got the power&#039;. Im simply saying, that although Rowling may have written a fictitious book with well rounded characters, the implications whether intentional or not is the promotion of witchcraft.</description>

		<description>I completly agree with you on all points. You mentioned that witchcraft is different from Satanism, which reminded me of something I recently found out apparently Stanism is NOT &quot;devil worship&quot;, they generally do not recognize the existence of, nor worship the Christian devil. People who actually worship the devil are a completly different group.</description>
