Oh, the irony! They would've READ "Order of the Phoenix".

thats pretty horrible, that harry potter books are only a make believe story and y burn them , y not just don't buy them

No book deserves to be burned. Its just plain ignorance. Hitler used to have mass book burnings.

I almost pissed my pants laughing at that.

It glorifys sorcery and Satan?

I want to go to that churchand swing around a copy of a Harry potter book screaming 'Satan be with you!'

Just for shiets and giggles, since I don't believe in God or Satan.

If you do, I have nothing against it, but if you take it as far as these nut cases, I'll have to...

Hold on, I'll enter a smiley to convey what I'll do.

They are a Horibble People 🙁 😠It think that they nee a 🧑‍⚕️ ❌ I know that they need one. They Probally know that poeple dont belive that the stuff in the books are true. and the people that burn them are the people that havent read them.

Why cant they just mind there buiseness?? 😕 If they dont like them then they should just keep there peace. And let live the people that like them enjoy what they have. If Harry Potter is bad then why dont they Burn they the Cronicles of Narnia? or The Wheel of Time Sereis? or any other Fantisey book that they can find? I dont have anything against these books Accually im reading the Cronicles of Narnia, and im going to read the Wheel of Time soon 🙂 so dont get me wrong they all follow the same thing. Magic, Adventures, and Myths. so they should just keep it to them selfs and they cant judge a book by the cover. or what other people say about the book. they should read it them selfs.

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

that is so dumb 😕 how can harry potter glorify satan when in fact this is a story of good versus evil where good wins . . . . it doesnt glorify satan it teaches children to do wats right even when things stand in the way, no person in their right mind should burn books . . . . and another thing the books are quite pricey why pay so much money for something to burn . . . . has anyone there heard of something called wood????? these people are just arrogant and simple minded, if you dont like it then dont buy the book! 😒: and this kind of stuff should not even make the news because it angers people who are normal 😠

ookay, that burning article was kinda freaky. I mean, u should respect ppls viewpoints of religon and believes. But, u shouldn't take it public. I mean, if u don't like the harry potter books and magic stuff, then don't buy it, just ignore it. Think of happy thoughts....lol. Like dorthy did in the Wizard of Oz. Hee hee....well maybe. Does anyone get one i am trying to say here?

i think the pastor has ADD or something.....seriously hes retarted!

but i am curious...its weird it doesnt talk about religion at all in hp...it just appears to me that everyone is either catholic or christian cuz of the holidays (christmas, easter) and that doesnt make sense cuz it does state clear out in the bible (i think..never read christian bible) that witchcraft is bad hence the witch burnings in the mid ages..but wouldnt religious catholics or christains (at least muggles) forbid their kids from learning witchcraft?

Burning books is wrong - plain wrong i tell you! LOL!

WHAT THE TELLL ARE THEY POLUTING THE PLANET LIKE THAT FOR?

hee hee -

unibrow, i agree. I think she tries to stay away from religon to try not to upset anybody. The purpose of the book is jus to entertain you know. Oh, and in the fifth book, Hagrid says something bout god, and in the JK spelt God as Gawd. hm........that gives u something to think bout

yeah...strange connection, but good...

What a waste of money!!!! If they don't like the books they should just not buy them...

that article was sooooooooooo stupid.
I heard about the church being against the hp books but I never knew they actually burned'em.

Unibrow> Even atheists have holidays during X-mas and Easter. I doubt the Dursleys are religious at all, for example. You have plenty of books and stories, where religion plays no other part than being some relic part of society.

i stand by it these people are jus simple minded

actually easter is really a pagan holiday to celebrate the coming of spring. that's where the association with bunnies and eggs comes from cuz they are signs of fertility

when the romans (who were christians) invaded the greater part of europe waaaaaay back in the day they had to accept parts of pagan ceremonies in order to get people to wholly convert instead of nominally converting just to save their skins

actually in the fifth book ron says thank god....i dont remember when but i also noticed when she spelt gawd wong but then in the fifth book hagrid says god and she spells it right...i dunno

Well, maybe that’s why these religious loons are burning the books? Because Rowlings misspelled “God”? 😄
