Just who is this little boy with the lightening bolt scar on his forehead that has captured the hearts of millions of kids from all over the world? He is the product of J. K Rowling, a student of mythology who consulted with members of Wicca in order to accurately write about witchcraft in her book series on Harry Potter.

Over one hundred million Harry Potter books have been sold in over 200 countries and translated into 46 languages making J.K. Rowling a billionaire in the 4 years since publishing her first book, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”.

Harry Potter is fun and his stories are making kids read. He is a nice guy, he takes care of the bad guys, and that makes him a hero…but there is a problem.

What is the real story behind Harry Potter? Is it fantasy, or is it fact?

According to Andrew Hard a Fox News reporter, Harry Potter has now turned to the dark side. He writes “Some parents are concerned that the kids Lining up outside bookstores will be faced with a story as black as night itself.”

“It’s scary for younger kids, when you have animals turning into people and people into birds and things like that,” said Geneseo IL . Parent Marian Shannon. “Its maybe not for kids who are less than eight years old.

As Potter readers well know, the boy wizard’s godfather, Sirius Black, has been killed right in front of him, he has cast the forbidden “Cruciatus curse” on a witch in an effort to make her writhe in unspeakable agony and he has been prophesied to kill or be killed by the evil Lord Voldermort.

The Saturday release of “Harry Potter and the half blood Prince” the second to last book in the series, expectations for the series to grow blacker still.

“It’s been getting progressively darker throughout the series” said Ilene Cooper, children’s book editor at Booklist magazine. J.K. Rowling herself has intimated that she isn’t sure Harry is going to survive the series. That’s about as dark as you can get.”

Some parents complained that the last Potter film, “Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban” which introduced audiences to the black clothed ,soul sucking floating “dementors”--- was far too dark and horrifying for young children to see.

“When my family went, it was surprising to see how many parents brought 5, 6 and 7 year olds, and I was thinking, “that’s not the age group that this is for” said Wauconda, Ill., mother Colleen Kersting.

“One child screamed out in the theater and had to leave .I think parents were shocked at how violent and scary the movies have gotten” she continued.

Editor’s note: Unfortunately most people have no idea of what the occult really is. The Bible warns about the use of witchcraft in almost a hundred scriptures which I have written down in my book “Out From Darkness.”

In some instances I have seen psychic phenomena performed in the Harry Potter movies and book. For example, the movie showed Harry looking into a mirror and seeing the future. This is known as “mirror mancy”, this is a form of divination (the art of obtaining information of the spirit world forbidden by God Deut. 18:10). It is interesting to note that Sirhan Sirahan, who assassinated Robert Kennedy, said he practiced this phenomena and saw himself in the mirror killing Robert Kennedy before he committed the act. His defense was the “devil made me do it”.

I was horrified as I saw another scene where there was a large glass cage with a huge snake slithering on the floor, apparently there was a boy being mean to Harry Potter. Harry then performed his magic and put the boy in the cage with the snake, who was terrifying the kid.

Eventually he cast a spell and took this humongous snake out of the glass cage and left the boy locked in there. But the thing that got my attention, was when the snake was freed, it spoke to Harry and as its fork tongue shot out of its mouth, it said “thank you” to Harry Potter.

Yes, Satan is saying “THANK YOU” to J.K. Rowling and publisher’s Scholastic inc. for introducing witchcraft to millions of children all over the world.

Incidentally ever since the Harry Potter books entered the market hordes of teenagers have turned to the religion of witchcraft (Wicca) and it has become one of the fastest growing cult/occult in existence.

The bottom line is what does God say? In the book of Samuel chapter 15 verse 8 “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft”.

Witchcraft encourages power, violence and sin.

Before some of my readers write and tell me that Harry Potter is a a hero and that there are witches who practice white witchcraft, ( good witchcraft), God reminds us that Satan comes as an angel of light (2nd.Corinthians 11:14).

Last but not least please don’t accuse me of judging, I am only quoting the Bible, after all God is the final judge.

Teaching Our Children Witchcraft

One woman, filmmaker and occult expert Caryl Matrisciana, focuses her efforts on explaining what she believes are the dangers of the Harry Potter series and how the books portray a lifestyle diametrically opposed to that of Christians. She has released a documentary video, "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged, Making Evil Look Innocent," that shows how the Harry Potter phenomenon is incompatible with Christianity. The video documentary details numerous similarities between the spells and magic used by Harry Potter and those used in the witchcraft of the Wiccan religion. “Such striking similarity,” said Matrisciana, “is definite evidence that the author has meticulously researched Wicca and included its tenets in her children's books. She writes her book series as fantasies, but the facts and details that she describes about witchcraft are very real!"

I am of the opinion that this is one of Satan’s greatest victories, and one of our saddest hours. Witchcraft has established a foothold in a fashion that has not happened since the time of Moses, when the Israelites entered Canaan.

Two hundred countries have embraced Harry Potter as their hero. In God’s eyes Harry Potter is described (in 2nd Corinthians 11:14) as Satan coming as an angel of light.

He has captivated over 50 million American children with the blessings of our Public education system. The schools are using the book series in their classrooms and busing our children to theatres to see the Harry Potter movie. Their reason is because Harry Potter is teaching our children to read. What they are reading doesn’t seem to matter….’Johnny’ is reading for the first time and that’s what is important to them. And in a few short years, the parents and educators of these children will wonder "what on earth possessed a large segment of them to turn to witchcraft and sorcery and Satanism."

The publisher of Harry Potter is Scholastic Inc. And guess what? They are also the leading publishers in America for our public school textbooks. Not only does Scholastic Inc. publish the book, but they also publish lesson plans embracing the philosophy of Harry Potter. Their website is filled with curriculum that teaches our children witchcraft!

The book teaches everything that God despises, including witchcraft, talking to the dead and reincarnation. Of course it is all wrapped up in clever covert fun.

My understanding is that there is a separation of State and Religion, yet in a covert way it is taught in schools and there is no doubt many of the children are practicing how to cast spells etc. This is religion pure and simple, yet Christians are forbidden to mention the word of God in school.

Children are very impressionable, and seeds are being sewn in their minds. The old adage goes, “what you see (and read) is what you are”.

Scholastic Inc. website also has material encouraging teachers to answer questions. However, if a little girl gets up and says, “my Sunday School teacher told me that Jesus said, ”no one enters into the Kingdom of God except through me,” then that is unacceptable, but it is permissible to ask questions pertaining to witchcraft because it’s fantasy, and it’s fun, and it’s Harry Potter.

About seven years ago, Wiccans in the military protested because they did not have their own chaplain. It was then that the Supreme Court ruled that Wicca is a religion. Therefore, if it is not OK to teach Christianity in school, then it should not be OK to teach witchcraft in school!

Dangerous Website Links Exposed

Let’s take it a little further; Scholastic Inc. also has links to other websites.

They have a place where you can link to other books. All a child needs to do, for instance, is this: where it says 'Search', just write in “witch” and it will bring up adult websites, promoting books such as WICCA, How to Become a Teen Witch, and many other books unsuitable for children. Type in “witches” and it brings up links to pornographic sites and the home page for The Church and School of Wicca. And you say that witchcraft is not an organized religion? Brothers and sisters, they even have their own website! (www.wicca.org)

Another teaching tool found on the Scholastic website is the Harry Potter journals. Pastor Bob Coy of Calvary Chapel in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida tells of a public school teacher who looked into the journal of one of her 5th grade girl students, who wrote, “I’m a witch! You know you are a witch if you have dark spots on your private parts”. The ten year old child said she got the information out of one of the witchcraft books that she found on one of these web sites…after searching the internet for more information on Harry Potter.

This rubbish being taught in school is unacceptable. The problem is that the majority of people in America don’t know the Bible, period! No wonder God said, “my people perish for the lack of knowledge.”

Over the past 5,000 years history shows us that God closed the doors on 20 major civilizations when they permitted three things to happen:

1. Kill their children,

2. Practice witchcraft,

3. Tolerate homosexuality.

God then permitted that civilization to be terminated.

A case in point is Canaan, which we now call Palestine. According to Deuteronomy 18:10 the Canaanites were killing babies, were into divination (fortune telling), Astrology, casting spells, drugs, witchcraft, and calling up the dead.

God hates these things and made it clear that those who practiced them will not enter into Heaven. I believe that America is in danger of God closing the door on this great country.

1. We have permitted the killing of 40 million babies since the Supreme Court of The United States of America, on January 22nd 1973, allowed us to murder our children through ABORTION (I might add here that if the reader has committed the above and repented, then I want you to know that God has forgiven you (1st John 1:9).

2. Witchcraft is rampant in The United States of America.

3. Homosexuality is tolerated and even taught in schools as an alternative lifestyle.

We are truly, Brothers and Sisters, in one of our saddest hours! I will be praying daily for the Truth…and that the educators of our children in this great country will come to know it.

In His Loving Name,

Ben
