review 1: This book was like taking a college-level literature class on Harry Potter. John Granger's research insights can only be classified as those of someone who has an in-depth understanding of centuries of literature. Although it is a continuation of "finding God in Harry Potter" with the last two books of the series included, it provides insights and understanding that no casual reader could discern on their own. Although I could only read it in very short sittings because of the depth and complication of that information, I heartily recommend it for any Harry Potter enthusiasts.
review 2: This book was very interesting. I have grown up loving the Harry Potter series and always thought religious accusations that it was "evil" were unjust and untrue. I bought thi... mores book to read up more on the subject of whether the Harry Potter books went against the teachings of the Bible or not. I am now very convinced that Harry Potter is completely misunderstood, especially by members of the Catholic church, which frustratingly, I am part of. This book, which is an updated version of "Finding God In Harry Potter" explains how Harry Potter is full of Christian symbolism and teachings and how the incantational magic in it doesn't even remotely relate to the devil-conjuring witchcraft forbidden in the Bible. I am very glad to have read this book, as I now have a good argument in defense of Harry Potter for the next time someone calls it "evil". less
