It was during that decade of the 1960’s, in the year 1966, that a woman named J.K. Rowling was born. This is the woman who has captivated the world in this year of 2000 with four books known as the "Harry Potter Series." These books are orientational and instructional manuals of witchcraft woven into the format of entertainment. These four books by J.K. Rowling teach witchcraft! I know this because I was once very much a part of that world.

The world of the 60s? The world of entertainment? The world of books? The world of the year 2000? The world of instruction manuals?
Eh, screw it. Back to worshiping pokemon.
Bitch, don't you even know what year it is?
And I have read each of those books several times, and have yet to find any instructions on the practise of witchcraft.
On the bright side, I am now an expert on Quidditch.
I just looked that up on wikipedia. She was born in 1965. yes, no, no, ???.
Now all I've got to do is find a hippogryph feather, firewood, and a unicorn heart, and I'll be able to make a wand to cast spells!
Actually, I have a bigger problem with the fact that she quit her job and went on welfare (when she could have afforded childcare after her divorce) and wrote the multi million dollar empire while being supported by the public when she admits she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself and her child without help.
This is a warning; things are not always what they seem.

Man, I just do not get it. A book has wizards in it, and suddenly it means it's a tool for the devil to lead children away from Christ via witchcraft? Hurr?
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the Harry Potter series (they're boring, they're stupid, they're all more or less the same, the later ones are almost as thick as a phone book and just as thrilling to read through, WHY THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DURSLEYS AND GET TREATED LIKE SHIT POWER OF LOVE MY FUCKING ASS AAHAGHSGAHGSHAGSHAGHSGHGHSHSBABH), there's no need to make up stuff about Satan.
Yes, first you have to find Platform 9 3/4...
Oh, wait, there is no Platform 9 3/4. Then that means...IT'S FICTION!
Four books?!? You stopped at The Goblet of Fire ?!?
As far as I know, she wrote seven (eight, if you count the soon-to-be-released Tales of Beedle the Bard ...)
This being said, well, it's FICTION anyway. Just like most of the Bible.
Sure and the Bible teaches us a completely flawed cosmology, and that deseases are caused by demons, and that abortion is ok if carried out by god. Oh wait, it's just fiction? Hm. Maybe those Potter books are fiction as well?
Eh, screw it. Back to worshiping pokemon.
Pokemon is satanic also. I don't know how, but it is. Satan is behind everything that makes kids happy, apparently.
i don't get it, how are the books instructions on witchcraft?
did you ever even read the books? i have a feeling you never did and are just going off the drivel some moron propagated
Too bad you stopped reading before she wrote the last three books.
Or that you never read any of them.
Seriously! I read the whole lot and now I can do magic just by waving a stick around and saying things in Latin. It's great! I can't believe you haven't noticed all those little kids flying around on broomsticks after reading Harry Potter.
...Now I'm worried that this might encourage him. It was sarcasm, for anyone visiting from Rapture Ready.
Even if witchcraft was real, and Rowling's books were instructional manuals for it...so what?
"I know this because I was once very much a part of that world."
Of course you were. *cough* Bullshit! *cough*
The problem, as I see it, for practitioners of witchcraft is the tall, pointy hat. It makes you very conspicuous.
When you can't even get the number of books she's written right, you're pretty clearly pulling this out of your ass.
@ Amanda #741871: Remember, the key is to swish and flick!
In the year 1946, a man named George Walker Bush was born. This is the man who would grow up to captivate the world by stealing an election and then spending nearly a decade spreading chaos, war, and destruction all over the globe. He has taught us that blatant stupidity and corruption is great as long as you claim to talk to Jesus. I know this because I was paying attention to the real world instead of shitting myself over a retarded book.
/I know this because I was once very much a part of that world./
Liar, liar, pants on fire...
You'd think that if witchcraft of the Harry Potter type were real, and the J.K. Rowling's books were genuine instruction manuals, there'd be a fuckload of tweens and teens riding around on brooms by now.
You can do "witchcraft" until the cows come home without ever casting an effective spell. You can dress up and dance in circles all you like, but that doesn't make you a witch any more than it makes you a daisy chain girl.
True fact: 1966 was indeed in the 1960s. Good boy, well done. Here's a cooky; now stop scratching and don't make a mess of crumbs.
Sounds like she published four books in 2000. She did not; the first one was published in 1997, the second in 1998 and the third in 1999. Three more Harry Potter books were published after 2000, and a couple of extra-info books are also available. All these books are concoctions of ancient myths and her own imagination, of pidgin Latin and the woes of growing up. As there is no such thing as witchcraft, there is also no such things as witchcraft manuals.
The seven and last one contains (spoiler, spoiler) a Jesus-like death-and-resurrection-to-save-others story.
"instructional manuals of witchcraft”
For the same reason, the people who said that D&D spells were ‘real magic’ were totally fucking wrong. There’s far more pun than power in fictional magic. The message spell uses a length of copper wire as a spell component, which is saying you’re making a magic phone call (from olden times when the calls went through copper).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
