Christians, Do You Fear Magic And Witchcraft?

Pupils at The Holt Primary School in Lincolnshire were planning to celebrate the launch of the JK Rowling book, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, by dressing up as witches and wizards.
However, the event was called off after the school received letters from parents and a local rector, worried about concerns over witchcraft.
Headteacher Paul Martin wrote to parents saying: “When I received a letter from the rector which suggested that I was ‘seeking to lead our children into areas of evil’, I felt that the situation was escalating disproportionately.”
The Reverend Richard Billingshurst, who sent the letter admitted he had not read any of the books but had seen the Harry Potter films.
He said: “If people start going around casting spells on their neighbours because they don’t know what they are doing, they are heading into dangerous waters.”
The head teacher of St Mary’s Island Church of England school in Chatham, Kent says the tales of wizardly adventures do not conform with her school’s “church ethos.” “The Bible is very clear and consistent in its teachings that wizards, devils and demons exist and are very real, powerful and dangerous and God’s people are told to have nothing to do with them. Harry Potter is as dangerous to children as child molestors” Carol Rookwood said.
