Harry Potter characters

been a fan of Harry Potter. I was too scared to watch the movies, the gruesome images of dragons and snakes and especially Voldemort was much too scary for me as a child. The only movie I had watched before this course was “Deathly Hollows part 2” with my friends when it came out in theaters about 4 years ago.

These novels are of pure fiction and should not be condemned on alleged views of Satanism or Witchcraft. But like every good novel, there are lessons to be learned and themes that are present.

One piece of popular culture that is heavily influenced by religion is the world-renowned Harry Potter series. Throughout all of the Harry Potter books and movies you can see an obvious Christian influence.
