When I was in high school, the teacher told us to read the book Bless Me, Ultima. That book is about witchcraft. One Swedish student in class is a Christian. She told the teacher that her religion forbids her to hear and learn about witchcraft. Then the teacher sent her to some other classroom until the reading of Bless Me, Ultima is over. As a Christian and a pastor's son, I should have done the same thing.

One day, I was watching The Simpsons episode when the nextdoor Christian neighbor of the Simpsons, Ned Flanders, was reading the book to one of his sons, "... and then Harry Potter and his wizard friends went to hell for practicing witchcraft." Then he threw the "book of magic" into the fire. Then I noticed why my parents don't like Harry Potter. They said they shouldn't have bought those "books of magic" for my younger sister. They also said to stop reading those books and that they should get rid of them. Maybe we might burn those books. Ha! Ha! Those books shouldn't be "bestseller", since they're about witchcraft. Then I noticed that some other Christians are against Harry Potter.

"A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas."
Acts 19:19 NIV
