Evidentially Book 6: "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" will be coming out this summer. Woo Hoo! Give us all something good to read. Hopefully this one will be a bit better than the last one, where Harry was just a little too petulant for my tastes.
Some Christians don't like the Potter books, usually for stupid reasons. I enjoy them a lot and their tone always struck me as very similar to C.S. Lewis. The dry wit and sense of just desserts the characters received was very similar. They don't have Lewis's biblically based symbolism of course, but I'm ok with that. They aren't Christian works, they are secular works.
When many of these same folks started complaining about Tolkien because of the prominence of the Lord of the Rings movies, I knew they were fools. Tolkien was a Christian and a major Christian influence on C.S. Lewis and others. Labeling the Lord of the Rings unchristian is utter foolishness. Again its a secular work, but it shouldn't be compared to devil worship.
