What You May Not Know About Harry Potter
By Rev. Raymond Kwong, USA

Harry Potter Books Overview:
100 millions books have been sold in 35 languages with over 680 Potter websites.

Harry Potter, an orphaned boy, was sent to live with his "horrible," anti-witchcraft Uncle and Aunt after his parents (powerful witches) were killed by an even
more powerful witch.

In the books, "muggles" like his Uncle and Aunt were pictured as cruel and narrow for preventing Potter from learning witchcraft, the readers get a clear
impression that parents, teachers must be mean for keeping them from pursuit of the occult. Harry finally got freed from his relatives and discovered new friends and an exciting life at the Woghart school of Witchcraft.

Potter who is 13-years old attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft to learn the occultic arts and later to fight the evil Voldemort. Witches are depicted as being very smart, very "with it," and of living wonderfully exciting lives. Harry and his colleagues routinely practice sorcery, cast spells, and talk with spirits of the dead.

The author is J.K. Rowling. Potter is no mere fantasy book. Rowling created a captivating world where strength, wisdom, peace and love, (all God given gifts promises to those who believe in God) are now offered to those who get into the occult.

Children do not always have an easy time to know the difference between reality and fantasy. Some say that reading fantasy books are never harmful. Would it be
okay, then to let your children read a fantasy pornographic book or one in which the boy kills his own parents cold-blood? Why not? The fantasies in Rowling's include: A better world - where the main characters practice pagan rituals -rebel against biblical authority (intolerant "muggles.") and idealize paganism - and occult practices done by "good" wizards.

"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations." [Deuteronomy 18:9]
Kids are learning these pagan practices from Potter.

Potter sells books, movie tickets and the Occult. The Pagan Federation has appointed a youth officer to deal with a flood of inquiries on how to become a
witch (average 100 a month!) following the success of the Potter books. The federation says the Potter books, and TV shows such as Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, had probably sparked the new flood of interest. Apparently, the kids were influenced greatly!

In an interview with Newsweek's Malcolm Jones, Rowlings said, "I get letters from children addressed to Professor Dumbledore [headmaster at Hogwarts
School], and it's not a joke, begging to be let into Hogwarts, and some of them are really sad. Because they want it to be true so badly they've
convinced themselves it's true." Harry Potter is playing the part of Pied Piper,
leading children to their eternal doom. Potter is protected by Devil. Sirius is one of the most important characters in this book.

He is constantly on guard to protect Harry. Listen to occult writer M. Temple Richmond, writing in his book, "Sirius," p. 29:" . . . Sirius is the Keeper of Hell.
The Egyptians also called him Set. In San Francisco, there is a temple of Set headed by a Satanist who allegedly terrified kids from the Presidio. Christian
author, Bill Schonebelen, former practicing Satanist, says that the Egyptian worship of Set was truly abominable. He says Set was worshipped with obscene, homosexual rituals. Thus, when Harry is related to Sirius, he is related to Satan himself. And when Sirius comes to Harry's aid time and again, Harry is being delivered by Satan!

In the books, Sirius is depicted as a grossly misunderstood good guy who is really wonderful in his heart of hearts. This depiction matches exactly the
belief of the occultist, who believes that Lucifer is really the good guy, misunderstood by many. The God of the Bible is always pictured in the occult
as the real bad guy. In the books, Lord Voldemort is cast as the ultimate adversary of Sirius.

God warns, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [Isaiah 5:20]

We shall have to be on the lookout for the further development of Voldemort in later novels, but the stage seems to be set for Lord Voldemort to be revealed as the terrible God of the Christian and Jewish Bibles.

Suggesting That the World Is Full of Witches Rowling wrote: "It was only just dawning on Harry how many witches and wizards there must be in the world." [p.
81]. Again, the subtle suggestion that this is normal!

Harry Lies
Harry lies and disobeys fairly often with no remorse. What is disturbing is that these acts often go unpunished. Often the adults in a position of
authority go along with this. In The Sorcerer's Stone, Harry disregards his teacher's order and is later honored for it.

He lies to Prof. Lupin (p. 155), He suggests that Hermione lie. Fred and George Weasley disobey their father and gamble, betting on the outcome of the game.
However, does Mr. Weasley punish them? No, instead he instructs them to hide the gambling from their mother, (p. 117). The liberal philosophy that the "Ends
Justify The Means" permeates the books. To achieve a goal deemed good, Harry and his friends consistently break rules, steal, and use Witchcraft against others.

Harry Hates
"A hatred such as he had never known before was coursing through Harry like poison" (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban p. 213).
Anger and hatred permeate the books, prompting such actions as plotting revenge. "I hate them both," said Harry, [p. 196] This attitude is too common in the books. "A boiling hate erupted in Harry's chest... he wanted ... to attack ... to kill." [P. 339]

Harry's teaching
No absolute Good or Evil. Professor Quirrell told Harry, "There is no good or
evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it." [P. 291] This is standard Witchcraft.

"Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." Romans 12:9, "Abstain from all appearance of evil." - I Thessalonians 5:22

Harry Potter is NOT about good vs. evil. The magic in Harry Potter books is the "good" magic, because although Harry and his friends cast spells,
read crystal balls but they don't make contact with a supernatural world.

Pastor David J. Meyer, a former witch, said, "I have been studying the occult (both White and Black Magic) for 16 years. Harry Potter is not a story of good versus evil; it is a story of White Magic Witchcraft versus Black Magic Witchcraft." A former Black Magic Satanist has written: "The flying potions main ingredient is the fat from a sacrificed un-baptized male child below a certain age."

Famous Satanist Anton LaVey called this differentiation nonsense. "White magic is supposedly utilized only for good or unselfish purposes, while black magic, we are told, is used only for selfish or 'evil' reasons. Satanism draws no such dividing line. Magic is magic, be it used to help or hinder. [The Satanic Bible, Page 51].

In the books, Harry and his friends are the White Magic wizards fighting Voldemort, the Lord of Darkness. But in fact both are wizards, drawing their power from the same source.

On Judgment Day, Jesus Christ may not tolerate any such suggestion that it is all right to teach our children Black Magic Witchcraft because it is a "literary device".

"Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." [Ephesians 5:6]

"There shall not be found among you any one that ...uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter
with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto
the LORD..." [Deuteronomy 18:10-12]

Harry makes potions
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone- Drug Use is essential in achieving higher consciousness, Harry and his friends learned to create potions.

Professor Snape explains: "I don't think you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power
of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death . . .
"What would I get if I added powered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" [P. 137]

The plant, wormwood, contains thujone, an hypnotic drug, banned by the FDA since 1915 [Christian News, "Latest Potter Book Meets Cautionary Response From Christians, July 17, 2000] ; further, wormwood is used to make Absinthe, a hallucinogenic liquor. Further, look at the accurate description such drugs have on the senses: "creep through human veins" ... "bewitching the mind" ... "ensnaring the senses".

At the end of the book, we see another instance of drug glorification. In order to achieve their goal of the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry and Hermione have to
correctly choose between several bottles full of drug potions, which they are to correctly drink in the right order. The drug message in this book is clear.

To reach your goals in life like Potter, you need to know how to make drugs and take drugs in just the right way or else you are a 'dunderhead'. Harry Potter & friends casts spells In all the books, witches and warlocks are conjuring up spells in order to get revenge on an enemy or to play a trick on someone. In fact, students casting spells upon other students have gotten so bad that Hogwart's School issued a proclamation forbidding such practices.

"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God?"

Witches that cast spells "peep" and "mutter" their incantations. In many spells, a witch will draw a circle on the floor and then will step inside to draw either a hexagram or a pentagram. Once the circle is thus prepared, the witch and the coven present will get inside the circle to get ready for the demon to be summoned.

"For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am
the LORD your God." [Leviticus 18:25-30]

"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations." [Deuteronomy 18:9]

Kids are learning these pagan practices from Potter.

Harry, carnage and kids:

Drinking blood
"...The cloaked figure reached the unicorn, lowered its head over the wound in the animal's side, and began to drink its blood."

Drinking blood is forbidden in Scripture [Genesis 9:4-5] but practiced regularly in Satanism. Casting Spells -- God forbids this practice in Isaiah 8:19,

Death glorified
Headmaster Dumbledore; "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." The most alarming area Rowling continues to explore is that of
death. Death has played a prominent role in all the Potter books beginning with the horrible deaths of Harry's family.

Potter and the mark of the Anti-Christ
In Chapter Two, entitled "The Scar," we learn that the official name for the lightning bolt permanently etched into Harry's forehead, right between his eyes,
is a "curse scar" [p. 21].

One big concern we have with Potter is that it encourages youngsters to want to copy Harry to have a scar painted between their eyes, just as we saw during
the hyped buildup preceding the release of this fourth book.

Someday, a spiritual superman is going to arise, and will soon demand that these kids take the ultimate Curse Mark, his Mark of the Beast. (Revelation
13:13-16). You can spot some of the fans by the purple thunderbolt stickers on their foreheads. Satanism is full of lightening bolts, even to the point of being used by Hitler's SS. Dr. Cathy Burns reports in her book, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, that the lightning bolt is also known within witchcraft as the "Satanic S"; she then lists the Satanic groups using this lightning bolt: KISS [Knights In Satan's Service]; Black Sabbath; AD-DC etc....

The sign represents the power of Lucifer falling to earth from grace as a lightning bolt. Satanist vows that, at the Battle of Armageddon, Lucifer/Satan and his forces will reverse this earlier defeat. Hundreds of millions will take this "Mark of the Beast." An entire generation may now be in the process of being preconditioned to accept such a mark.

It was Lenin who said, "Give me one generation of youth, and I will transform the entire world." Now an entire generation of youth has been given to a woman
named Rowling and her books.

In order to succeed in bringing witchcraft to the world and thus complete satanic control, an entire generation would have been taught to think, talk, dress, and act like witches. Rev. 18:2, 23 describe our future world as one filled with witchcraft and demonism.

Occult symbolism used.
Unicorn is a common occult symbol for Antichrist according to Biblical scholars.

God declares in Daniel, chapter 8, that the symbol of Alexander the Great shall be a unicorn. Constance Cumbey writes that certain symbols were to
be particularly effective in preparing the world for the Antichrist. "New Age symbols such as the rainbow, the unicorn, and triple-sixes [666] were to be increasingly displayed."

[Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, p. 122] Notice that Harry is flying between two columns that are simply crawling with serpents

"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan..."
[Revelation 12:9; also 20:2]

In the book cover for Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets, we see Potter grabbing on to the tail of a red Phoenix Bird. The Phoenix is one of the oldest occult symbols, having been invented by Egyptian Mystery religion. Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down and whom they think will one day rise triumphantly. [Dr. C. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, p. 123]

During most of 1999, New Ager Hillary Clinton and several female members of the President's Cabinet were seen sporting a very expensive lapel pin depicting a Phoenix Bird. Rowling understands the significance of frogs, cats, and owls to the occultist. Satanists have always revered the cat that is a symbol of reincarnation.
The frog's bulging eyes represent the All-seeing nature of Lucifer. The owl is a symbol of occult wisdom.

Occult Numbers Used In Story Plot
Notice date they select the movie to be out is Nov. 16. The way occult numerologists count is by adding 1 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 9; 9 is a very sacred and powerful number, the upside down of another occult number 6.

Harry is aged 13 in this book; thirteen is Satan's number of rebellion. Harry was admitted to Hogwarts School on his 11th birthday.

Harry is assigned room number 11 in the Leaky Cauldron. 11 is sacred to the occultist. "... Eleven is the essence of all that is sinful, a symbol of destruction, death." [The Occult Power of Numbers, p. 100-101]

Demon Possession
Harry recounted for Ron the time in the previous year when Professor Trelawney was demonically possessed. Some scoffs at this, but my experiences in counseling and helping numerous demonized people during the last 25 years have shown me amply that demon-possessions are real. .

Gambling is glorified
As the wizards wanted to gamble on the outcome of the match ["The Goblet of Fire," pgs. 87-89]

Drinking Heavy
Drinking was depicted at the World Cup match [Page 88-89]. Virtually all the faculty of Hogwart's School is depicted as drinking heavily at school.

Cheating
"Cheating's a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and always has been". [Professor Moody counseling Harry on what he has to do to win the tournament; p. 343] Remember children admire this newfound hero.

Harry Potter does not pass the test of Philippians 4:8:
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." [Phil. 4:8]

I have been unable to find any mention by Rowling to religion or faith in Jesus Christ, But consider this scripture:

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. . . ." [Matthew 7:16-20]

Harry Potter is without question a tree of Bad Fruit. If Harry Potter is the best literature we have got to offer, then we are in trouble!

Jesus said, "You cannot drink the Lord's table and the demon's table. Shall we thus provoke the Lord to jealousy and anger and indignation?" [1 Corinthians
10:21-22]

God said, "And be not be conformed to this world..." [Romans 12:2]
