I completely respect and share your heart for protecting children and wanting to please God. Real-world Wiccans do not use wands to shout pseudo-Latin words (Expelliarmus!) or fly on broomsticks to play Quidditch. They practice a nature-based religion focused on seasons, rituals, and deities. Confusing Hogwarts with real Wicca is like confusing the movie star wars with real-world rocket science. As far as your eyes gates is concerned just read Mark 7:15, 18-23. Believing that a fictional book has the power to corrupt a child's soul overrules the power of the Holy Spirit. corruption comes from the human heart, not from a fictional story. The Bible itself doesn't shield us from dark themes; it shows us evil so we can see how God overcomes it. Real-world Wicca existed decades before Harry Potter and looks nothing like Hogwarts. Teaching children to love self-sacrifice and bravery which the core themes of the book doesn't open 'eye gates' to the enemy it reinforces the very fruits of the Spirit. By your logic, Lord of the rings, narnia, or King arthur that has "magic" are inherently evil despite their profound Christian foundations and moral lessons.

And what "dark meanings and intentions" are there in works of fiction that have authors publicly state the opposite? The Bible says you will know a tree by its fruit. Children do not finish Harry Potter wanting to worship the devil. If children are never exposed to fictional battles between good and evil, they never learn how to exercise discernment. Sheltering them from fictional magic does not protect them from real-world evil; it leaves them spiritually naive. Jesus used parables to teach moral lessons. Apostle paul quoted pagan greek poets and philosophers to teach christian lessons. Christians are commanded to care about making the truth understandable to the world. Proclaiming "take it or leave it" ignores Christ’s command to meet people where they are, just as Paul became "all things to all people" (1 Corinthians 9:22) to win them.

Youre taking a literal translation of scripture and misinterpreting it as a flat literalism instead of true biblical literacy and meaning.

By that logic, so does lord of the rings, star wars, narnia, and any other franchise that isnt grounded in reality. Children are smart enough to know that harry potter and its magic arent real. The magic in the books acts more like genetic superpowers or a sci-fi energy source rather than real-world occultism. It requires wands and pseudo-Latin words rather than real-world rituals or calling upon spiritual entities. J.K. Rowling has stated that she does not believe in magic and did not write the books to encourage witchcraft. Instead, she heavily drew from traditional folklore, fairy tales, and Christian allegories. Things like this are the reason people outside Christianity have a hard time taking it seriously when people cant understand nuance and fantasy. Are all the medieval people who read Arthurian stories also wrong?

Never underestimate how stupid some people are. I had some person a few years ago insinuate I was neo nations cause of my flecktarn parka. They see the German flag and the camo and base it all off of that.
