Wed 11 Nov 2002Old-fashioned witch huntsMEDIA SCOPE: Some Christian groups in Britain and the US have condemned the Harry Potter series of books and films as promoting the occult. Book burnings have even been a feature of protests in North America. Several hundred members of Christ Community Church sang Amazing Grace in a public book burning that targeted JK Rowling's Harry Potter books as well as Star Wars products.The book burning was organised by Jack Brock, the church pastor, who contends that the books chronicling the adventures of a young wizard promote witchcraft and "the powers of darkness." "Harry Potter is a masterpiece of satanic deception," according to Brock.
