can you imagine these kids worship Satan?

I can’t. I just finished the book, I thought I’d take this as a study of the book. Here we go:

No character in the book has ever mention any preferrence of any religion. There is no single writing in which Harry Potter or any other character ever pray. Not even in time of peril, which happen quite often. No character in the book put any God’s name in vain. When they swear, they use Merlin name or simply use ‘bloody-’ , a very common english light profanity word or J.K Rowling would just neatly written ‘the character is swearing.’ It is after all, a children book.

To make speculation that Harry Potter is a christian, or any other religion is simply baseless. To accuse the book promotes witchcraftry, devil worship, and any other stupid notion of paganism is nonsensical at best.  However, I can also pointed out that:

There is a church at Hogwarts, probably. The Book is written in Harry Potter point of view. Except one or two chapter where it took an observer point of view for story progression. Since Harry is not a praying kind, the book never mention him ever visit a church or any other praying area. This is why it’s hard to speculate whether a church exist or not. I’d say it exist because commonly, a castle such as Hogwarts have at least one praying area, which usually is a christian church being Hogwarts is located in UK, and UK being a christian nation.

Harry do not believe in the afterlife. Most religion notion the existance of life after death. But it was never mentioned that Harry believe his parent is in heaven like most chidren do. When Sirius and Dumbledore died, Harry believe they just gone, stop living, into nothingness. Harry thoughts of death are thoroughly written in the latter chapters of the last book. This should make Harry Potter much more braver than most people realised: In the case of martyrdom, the martyr believe that when they died, God is embracing them in heaven. They are promised a much better eternal life. Some religion even offer shitload of virgin girls.

Does anybody know where magic comes from? There are no mention of it in the book. You can perform magic with or without wand. You definitely need wand to better control it or the the existance of wand make no sense. There are some prerequisite that a wizard or witch must perform for magic to happen, such as incantation and wand movement, but It can also happen out of nothing, and without explanation whatsoever, like in the case of Lily Potter supposedly ancient spell that protected Potter from Lord Voldemort which simply explained as happened out of mother’s love. But it has never been discussed why magic happen, how it exist. Unlike many other magical fantasy story in which magic comes from God (sometimes plural Gods), the suspiciously lack mention of God in all seven book can only force us to speculate in the matter.

I have a suspicion that Harry Potter, the character, is an atheist, if not agnostic. Just like Daniel Redcliffe.

Perhaps I overanalysed it, but at least I have a very strong and convincing argument that Conservative Christians reasoning of their hatred of the book is so heavily flawed. That they most likely do not read the book, and if they did read, they are too stupid.

Harry Potter, the book, have nothing about paganism. The magical process in the book is much different and far from pagan withcraftry they so oppose. The story is not just about evil things happen for no reason, it happen for philosophical and political reason. It is about good versus evil.

Voldemort is much closer to Hitler or Musolini than Devil.

Hey haters, you hate it for the wrong reason.
