Book Description :

Harry Potter is a phenomenon. Children and adults all over the world are involved in the Potter-mania and his group of followers grows more and more. Five books have already been published, and there are supposedly two more to come. Parents are glad that their children picked up reading again, and the books are also regular read in schools. But recently there has been a discussion about to ban the Harry Potter books from the reading lists in American schools. These books’ opponents accuse them of glorifying occultism and Satanism and therefore being anti-religious and anti-educational. Their supporters defend them by designating them harmless and valuable children’s literature. But is Harry Potter really that harmless? After a short outline about the books, this work will define the words ‘magic’, ‘occultism’ and ‘Satanism’, examine how they are treated in the Harry Potter books and discuss if those are really a kind of a gateway drug to Satanism for children.
