Wonderful thread, I am not seeing much from people who consider Harry Potter satanic. I'm wondering if there are really that many people out there.I agree with the poster who critiqued the John William's score. I think the Harry Potter theme melody was sweet and appropriate, but orchestrated a la Jurassic Park, so I expected to see dinosaurs in the wood!
Also one minor disturbing element in the film and the book: Harry is a Wizard because it's 'in his blood' Kind of a racial superiority thing?
Overall the books are wonderful and imaginative. Most of the adults at my place, which is no liberal haven, have passed the books around with approval.
