Well, I have never read a Harry Potter book, however I had the privilege to watch the first part on the 24 of December (I thought for myself that this time when I have the chance I better see with my own eyes what the issue is all about).
I am not a stranger to spiritual attacks or demons, in my work this is unavoidable.
I have heard a lot of critique against the Harry Potter books, but I have never had the time and chance to really dig into the matter.
Seing the first episode I can certainly state that the film was amazing, truly attractive, exciting and breathtaking. Personally, to be quite honest, I did truly enjoy it.
However, I do see the danger, whether the film actually is meant as a tool of recruitment for wichtcraft or not, there is no doubt that the film beautifies wichcraft and certainly attract young people and adults to possible dabble with it a bit more.
Personally I would not feel secure about letting my daughter fill her mind with Harry Potter, sorry.
