Party planning Potter protest
Staff report

The ministry of The Jesus Party will host an Anti-Harry Potter Conference in the theatre room at the Ramada Inn at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.

The Rev. Douglas Taylor, the ministry’s director, extended an open invitation to concerned parents, school board members, teachers, librarians, bookstore owners, clergy and anyone who may have opposing views concerning the Harry Potter phenomenon.

The Jesus Party held a book-cutting in Kennedy Park last November on the eve of the “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” movie debut. Taylor thought that it would be appropriate to once again rise to the occasion and hold a sequel to his Potter protest.

This week’s anti-Potter event will take place on the eve of the release of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” A video produced by Jeremiah Films called “Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged” will be shown on a giant screen.

In the video, best-selling authors Robert S. McGee and Caryl Matrisciana answer questions and draw parallels between Harry Potter and true witchcraft as practiced today, with actual interviews and footage of witches, their rituals and spells.

The conference will conclude with the cutting up of the “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” book.

“I have been branded by Potter fans as a chief muggle and I would feel bad if I didn’t live up to their expectations,” Taylor said in a prepared statement. A muggle is considered to be a boring, blinded and biased human who doesn’t believe in the world of witches or who despises it as evil.

Aren't witch hunts a discredited tactic of the past?

I guess destroying books is okay as long as it's for Jesus.

I think when these people die and go to heaven Jesus will give them all a swift kick in the ass.

The mother of my child won't let him see this movie because of her church.

She was'nt like this when we were together. It makes me worry about how he is going to feel when the real world starts to sink in.

Isn't a muggle just a non-magic capable human? They aren't supposed to be aware of the wizarding world. The only "boring, blinded, and biased" humans I've seen were the Dursleys, Harry's relatives.

As alwasy, religous wackos think they can tell everyone else how to live

That's what I thought.

Yeah.

P.S. Not all Christians are whack-jobs. My Dad is a decon at his church, and Harry Potter and LOTR were his favorite movies last year.

I find it a bit ironic that these freaks are denouncing Harry Potter as witchcraft, yet they are the ones that believe in a god that's never show his face and the hope that someday they will go to a magical place that no one has ever been able to prove to exist.

Quite. It all comes down to "My imaginary being and made-up belief system is better than your imaginary being and made-up belief system." All very childish, really.

<font color=blue size=3><strong>I wonder if these people are working for Lord Voldemort.

Jesus Freaks Freak Jesus Out.

God don't people understand? If Jesus were here, he'd go to the theatres and watch the movie himself. Heck, he'd probably bug Columbus to be in the movie.

"Can I have a part? I'd save you a ton on special effects because I can actually walk on water and turn water into wine without it exploding in my face unlike those kids!"
