Well, she didn't put it in the book. Likely because it would sell less.

Yeah, whatever. I'm a Christian and that's why I DID read the books and watch the movies. I had a Christian friend tell me after the first one came out, "There's wicked stuff in there. Better warn people not to read them." So I went out and bought the book and loved it! I've read them all and then I loan them to my teenage step daughter to read. But I didn't know Dumbledore was gay.
I think the reason she didn't add that in there is because it wouldn't contribute to the story any. I mean, who's he going to have sex with? Voldemort? He couldn't bang any of the students. That would piss everyone off. Half the male teachers in the school didn't stick around long enough to get any and Snape was just plain creapy. Or maybe Snape and Dumbledore were secret lovers?
Hmmm ... honestly, it ruins the whole thing for me.![]()
while I realize that no one has in this thread has said it, many christians don't approve of the books because of the use of "witches" and "sorcery." The irony behind this is that witches have nothing to do with satanism and never have, and is incredibly love and peace centered, particularly towards protecting the "god given" planet (something I couldn't say about a lot of christian organizations/politics). Wicca is a pagan religion, which has taken a negative connotation as an adjective much like jew, black, or liberal, but is in fact a descriptor of the religion which may turn off some due to christian beliefs, but not reading a book for this reason is similar to not eating at a japanese restaurant for having a buddist family ownership. The use of magic is, in my personal beliefs, very christian. Prayer, in my opinion, is magic. Not to say it's false, but what wiccans call magic christians call prayer. It's complete semantics. so hogwarts is not much different than a church, and fishing for demonic subcontext within a children's book is pathetic and desperate at best. It's the fear of the unknown and idolization of ignorance that makes things like this an issue at all
Paragraphs are your friend.
that is a paragraph.
1. In the sorry state that the internet is in it's required that if I want to post anything, I have to elaborate the I THINKS and IN MY OPINION or else I get called out on it for stating a fact and how I'm an asstard. So I have to be wordy to save myself the torture of online semantic wars
2. if you're too lazy to read my post you're far too lazy to read a book, be it Harry Potter or the Bible. so either way I don't see what you're doing in this thread.

Given this perspective, Hogwarts is not much different than a church; and fishing for demonic subcontext within a children's book is a pathetic and desperate attempt at best.

there. I corrected my punctuation. It's longer now.
