This thread is in response to a poll by Arianna (luvmyfaith) about whether Harry Potter books/vids are evil. There are differing opinions in Orthodoxy, even among the clergy. I asked Metropolitan Maximos, our Bishop, his opinion. He said he had not read them and would look into it...Well, he didn\'t, and I can understand, because he is a Bishop and has a lot of responsibilities. But ya...so I asked my Spiritual Father, and he said that they\'re OK because it\'s fiction...it\'s a story. As long as you keep it in perspective. If you go and start trying to cast spells, then that\'s a problem, and that\'s , I think, what the fanatics are worried about. I\'m not judging anybody, I respect everybody\'s opinion. I\'m just stating mine and my SF\'s POV on this subject.
