I've stayed up all night before, reading the HP books, because I couldn't put them down. <br /><br />You're going to love them!Dianna@KennedyAdventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302775757558379006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719228420972602555.post-65306620342454089782011-04-15T18:35:03.190-04:002011-04-15T18:35:03.190-04:00I'm a late potter fan too!I'm a late potter fan too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676100157816141678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719228420972602555.post-36091671977504676922011-04-14T19:41:27.052-04:002011-04-14T19:41:27.052-04:00Mel I am reading the HP series as well!

As a kid, I always thought they were evil heathen books and wouldn't go anywhere near them. Recently, a good friend had been encouraging me to give them a try. I prayed about it and was surprised to hear a "yes" from God. I started reading just this Valentine's Day, right before turning 16, and fell completely in love with the series from page one. After finishing the last book, my only regret was that it had taken me just 10 days - yes, 10 - to read all 7 books. It makes me sad that I can't even mention the boks to most of my friends because they are thoroughly convinced of their evil. Personally, I found the themes of sacrificial love, justice, and defeating lies with the truth to be the most prevalent. And trust me, every book is better than the one before.Gabrielle Schwabauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693924464693370899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719228420972602555.post-698971078206056942011-04-10T14:51:17.489-04:002011-04-10T14:51:17.489-04:00Hey Mel,

I just thought fantasy was a silly genre that wasn't interesting. <br /><br />Now, reading them as a Christian with an open mind I actually see some Christian themes in them. Most obviously is the good vs. evil. I kind of take the series as a modern day walk for a Christian. Jesus died for us and has given us this amazing amount of protection against evil (Harry's Mom died for him allowing him to have protection against Voldemort). Being a Christian and knowing God allows us to always have a way out, even if the situation is bad. (Harry is always given outrageous things, like the Griffendor sword, to help him out of bad situations). <br /><br />I like to read and come of with obscure, possibly far-fetching, parallels between Christianity and Harry Potter. lol+Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122321431604296311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719228420972602555.post-71589884500350504752011-04-09T22:20:01.983-04:002011-04-09T22:20:01.983-04:00Mel,
