The Christian Broadcasting Network website offers a collection of Pro and Con Essays about the Suitability of Harry Potter for Child Readers.
Hat tip to Sandra Miesel, who observed: “Amazing how many positive articles they missed, isn’t it?”
Indeed.

Actually, considering the source (and I find Pat Robertson repugnant), I found it rather encouraging that the site was wiling to show both sides (meaning including positive articles). I thought Connie Neal’s What Would Jesus Do with HP great, also using HP to teach the gospel. I’ve been encouraging youth leaders to read and use the HP books for years as a jumping off point for the “HP generation.” No one has taken me up on it.
Gina Burkhart’s DD essay looks good, too, haven’t had time to read it. John, haven’t you recommended Connie Neal before? Glad I copied these to add to my burgeoning collection.
There go the kitties with the toilet paper again!
My nephew who has aspergers has just started reading Hp. I hope to be able to speak to him about the gospel using these stories.
