I think these books were given to J.K. Rowlings by an emmissary of darkness and the reaction of people of all ages to them is over the top and has gone much further than normal enthusiasm. In my lifetime I have never heard of people laying out on the sidewalk in the rain for a couple of days to buy a book or people willing to travel halfway around the world to buy a book in London where it was written - Not to mention the author of this series who began on welfare and has now become richer than the Queen of England. Go figure!!
A sad part of this phenomenon is the fact that Scholastic Inc. are the publishers of these books in the US which gives our school children open access and encourages the
reading of them - but the saddest part by far has to be the ignorance of much of professing christendom in spite of what God has to say in His Word about other gods, darkness, and wizards. I have to wonder if CS Lewis and GK Chesterton did not help set the stage for such a time as this. JT
