Hour of the Witch


As much as I respect all religions, and people of all faiths, I have to admit I have a cynical streak in me. When an author of ANY religion decides to get on a soapbox, I usually take it with a grain of salt. I found this book by accident in the library, and it seemed to take itself so seriously that I brought it home merely for a little light hearted giggle factor. I wasn't too disappointed. There's a part where the author quotes a passage from Harry Potter regarding how Bill, an older Weasley brother, was dressed in a leather jacket and a fang earring. And then he goes on and on about how evil it is to dress in leather jackets... Erm, what? Maybe it's not your personal taste but evil? Come now. That's just one little example of the arguments the book used to prove the Harry Potter series was immoral. And then towards the end he compares him having a six week old baby in the house (good) to the evil in HP, oh and JK Rowling was possessed by spirits to write this series... It was amusing, to say the least.
