Harry Potter as Satanist Tool of 'Ziono-Hollywoodists'
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,...
This is pretty funny given the Persian roots of so much of the Potter stories. Follow the trail leading back from the Magic spells, the romance, and the heroism, and you will land quite soundly in the tales or mystery and wonder told by ancient Persians and others from that region. This is more political propaganda than it is any real critique of literature or story - and cheesy propaganda it is too.
Kinda makes you wonder about that half-blood prince, don't it?
Just to quickly point out one of several gross inaccuracies in the article and this way of thinking in general, the article states The potter stories and movies emphasis and glorify the "purity of blood and race". That is a LIE! An untruth, if you will. The books and films show the blatant evil of prejudice, specifically it is the evil enemy that hold blood purity as a status to be wished for. The books and films are heavily saturated with the idea of embracing or rejecting a person based on the decisions they make, not where they come from or who their family is. Love and friendship that are blind to boundaries of race, culture and appearance are at the heart of Potter tales. Read and/or view before you judge...or film a documentary.
This same "Iranian university lecturer" is also a purveyor of the falsehood that the Baha'i faith is the creation of Zionists. He sees Jews under every bed, in every film, and in every religion that is not his brand of Islam. He appears poorly qualified as a lecturer.
Boy, does someone need to get a life!
The Devil, which Islam took from Christianity, is Christianities creation, nothing more, nothing less. His comments are like to that the of the RR nonsense...something to ignore.
the guy on Iranian TV needs, along with its government and religion, need to get a life or at least figure out what they're talking about instead of making stupid and silly comments.
Somebody has way to much time on their hands. They're just movies and not meant to be taken seriously.
They may think that harry potter is evil. But more evil than that is their talking teddy bear that supposedly is going to the Gaza Strip to wage war against us. Now that is disturbing.
You're all being gamed by MEMRI, who are notorious for fabricating innacurate recordings of Arabic media and spinning it for the benefit of anti-arab or pro-Israeli positions.
WOW!!! That's all I have to say. Harry Potter has nothing to do with Satanism...this is getting soooo old!
And anyways the Harry Potter books were written by a BRILLIANT British woman...how did Hollywood get dragged into this? I mean Hollywood is definitely Satanic...but Harry Potter most definitely is NOT!
