Evidently, some commentators did not even listen to what Professor Elshtain said. One of her main points is the cultural importance of talking about the concepts good and evil, something that fewer and fewer people publicly discuss, as she points out. She views the Harry Potter series as reengaging a public discourse on good and evil, something that she believes is NEEDED. She never said that the character Harry Potter or the series of books was evil. Listen to what she actually says!

yeah, no joke. these people "think" they're right.i've read/ watched harry potter and i'm not dead or surrounded by demons.

no i wasn't calling anybody an idiot. i just think it's silly to go on and on about this evil stuff. you can't have good without evil, it's that simple. harry potter is just a story about good v. evil. i've said that to everyone who thinks harry potter is evil. yeah, she points out all the evil in harry potter but there's also lot's of good. try looking at the positive. it's a great story and nobody can tell me otherwise.get over it people.

this is stupid, honestly. harry potter is just a freakin story about good v. evil. obviously they don't get it. all they worry about is the evil stuff....c'mon, if harry potter, lord of the rings and star wars didn't have evil in it then what kind of story would it be? THINK. there is opposition in all things. geez...you people give me headaches.

Oops, ignore my last paragraph there.It seems the lady is speaking FOR the Harry Potter series. I took it the wrong way! oopsie...well that last bit was to the people who hate potter then!! loland I was kidding about "aiding the devil"sarcasm...

I love Harry Potter.I LOVE IT!And guess what, I'm a Christian!!*ohmygoodnessthatsimpossible*pshhhh.It's a story for the benefit of the imaginations of children and adults alike. Stop trying to make something soooo "good" oriented look "bad" or "evil."That's horrible. These people are doing the very thing they are speaking against...they are turning something good into something evil.TOO BAD you are actually AIDING the devil!-.-

Were you calling the speaker an idiot? She was taking up for the series. Talking about it in an educated, positive manner.

and another thing...harry potter is simply a movie about good conquering evil. it's no different than lord of the rings or star wars...or whatever. they're all about good conquering evil and harry potter just has a fun twist to it....MAGIC!if these idiots would just give it a chance and actually watch and read harry potter they just may like it. poeple need to shut the hell up.

anyone who thinks harry potter is evil clearly has issues. there's things out there that make harry potter look like barney.i remember i lived 2 doors down from a baptist family and when the first movie came out i asked if they had seen it...and i couln't believe my ears. they started freaking out like they were being stabbed and said that it's evil withcraft......and then the mother came outside and took her holy children inside before the demons came out and ate their souls.....BULL SHIT! |
