There is a cultural mania going on that could dwarf the “Star Wars” phenomenon. He’s the nerdy Harry Potter of the Harry Potter book series by author J.K. (Joanne) Row-lings. The astounding statistics include some 30 million books sold, and a translation into 35 languages. It will make Rowlings one of the richest women in the world. In brief, hero Harry is orphaned when his parents are killed by an evil wizard named Voldemart. From that ordeal, Harry receives a lightning bolt mark on his forehead. He is then placed under the care of “evil” relatives, who have no occult ties whatsoever. On his eleventh birthday, there is a dramatic change in Harry’s life, when he is accepted into the Hogwarts’ School of Witchcraft, a coveted boarding school for aspiring wizards and witches. Magic, fairy tales and fantasy usually go together. In the past, magic was associated with villains, but in the Harry Potter books, all that is magic is lauded, including over 60 practices forbidden in the Bible. More on that later. Children crave supernatural thrills, which is exactly what Rowlings has tapped into. Yet there are Christian organizations that have put their stamp of approval on this purely occult material.
