Oh, Harry Potter–your Quidditch games, your friendships with Hermione and Ron, your crush on Cho Chang, and who could forget “wingardium leviosa” (that’s the spell that helps you float objects)! You’ve inspired the imagination of so many…including, apparently, Iranian TV, which aired a special about Western cinema– and Harry Potter specifically–in December. According to the special, the “Ziono-Hollywoodists” are using Satanism and the Harry Potter movies to convince young viewers to “join us.”In the documentary, the voiceover (with translation by MEMRI-TV) notes “the creation of new stories, based on mythical themes relating to witchcraft and devil worship, has always been a tool used by contemporary Zionists [...] now, more visibly than ever, targeting innocent children and youth.” The documentary explains that the theory of witchcraft originates in the kabbalah, which itself originated “from a rabbi or magicians of ancient Egypt and were passed down to the Knights Templar.” (No worries, this is the closest thing to a “Da Vinci Cod”e reference in the documentary.)”I call this a cultural crusader war…” says Ali Asghar Sa’adati, identified as an Iranian Expert on Religious Cinema. ” Their military expedition is currently in Afghanistan and Iraq, while their cultural expedition consists of these films and DVDs.”“The second issue is the racial supremacy of the Jewish people,” adds Dr. Mehdi Goljan, identified as Iranian University Lecturer, before moving onto the third issue: the End of Days and the role that Jews (and Zionist Christians, he points out) believe they will play in that war of Armageddon, which is the term used by Dumbledore to describe Harry’s epic battle with Voldemort. Most troubling to him is “the belief that the Jewish people are saviors.” “As we know, throughout the history of the Jewish people, according to the views of global Zionism, the issue of world domination is a basic principle, of utmost importance.” (I must have missed a memo from the Jewish people.)But wait…there’s more:

“Propaganda for purity of blood and race, one of the principles of global Zionism, is openly portrayed and emphasized in the second Harry Potter film. If we add this (film) to the other pieces of the puzzle–the beliefs depicted in the other propaganda and political products of the Ziono-Hollywoodists–the Satanic features of this inhumane movement will become more evident.”

“(The Zionists) support Harry Potter because he is the promised messiah,” the film opines, further noting that the HP films reached the cinema “following the success of the Zionist propaganda machine, which made this little-known author and her books famous.” If this is true, it means J.K. Rowling should probably be doing more Jewish charity events.[Hat tip to Ken Wheaton.]View the whole video below:
