Attention Harry Potter fans: you may not know what evil you have unwittingly been exposed to! The always (unintentionally) amusing fundamentalists at ChildCare Action Project has come out with a scathing report on the new movie. Some of its startling findings (all italics mine):
– Harry Potter is “a colorful display of goth art.”
– “Harry Potter present[s] evil as something to admire and emulate.”
– “[W]hat better time to embrace evil in entertainment than now when we have kicked God out of schools, government and many, many homes and what used to be the family. I guess Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a logical extension of I Dream of Genie, Bewitched and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, all benevolent on the surface and all since we kicked God out of our schools.”
– “Part of the rivalry is expressed in broom-riding sports much like roller ball with as little concern for the safety of fellow players.”
– “By the way, Harry converses with a snake in this movie. Not a cow, not a dog, not a cat, but a snake. And one of the characters is 665.5 years old.”
The CAP scoring system dings movies for crimes against Christianity; in Harry’s case, these include:
– in the “Wanton Violence” category: “floating evil being drinking blood from an animal’s neck,” “ghost removing his head,” “great falls, repeatedly,” “beating of a child with a club by a giant troll, seeing the club hit the child, repeatedly,” and “crumbling flesh.”
– under “Impudence/Hate”: “brutal sports tactics with audience of children cheering it on,” “encouragement by an adult to a child to break the rules to get even,” “parents submitting to child’s creaming.” (I assume they meant screaming; if there was creaming in the movie, maybe it really should be banned.)
– under “Offense to God”: “magic to grow tail on a boy,” “magic to change flag colors,” “paintings with moving subjects, repeatedly,” “broom riding,” “cat with red eyes,” “Christmas without Jesus.”

Perhaps I’m going crazy, but I don’t see any italics.
I saw Harry Potter this weekend. Does this mean I’m going to hell now?
Oopsies on the italics. I took them out in editing. There’s a reason they call you Eagle-Eye Scofield, Leia.
And yes, Erica, you’re going to hell, but for entirely un-Potter-related reasons, if that makes you feel better.
Will somebody please think of the children!
why am i oddly reminded of the “don’t shake the baby” campaign a few years back? and the high school counter “shake the baby” campaign?
thinking of the children allright…
(and erica? you were already going to hell. but so am i, so it’s okay.)
hey guess what guys! I’m driving the bus so we’re all good. 😉
Will there be pie and punch in hell? If so, I’m SO there.
i’m on the short bus to hell
i think that’s the christmas toast for 2001.
“here’s to the short bus. to hell.”
