[edit] Summary

Chick Publications ' "The Nervous Witch": a Christian conservative comic strip depicting the occultist dangers of the Harry Potter series.

Added controversy [about Harry Potter] stems from some Christian groups in the United States who have denounced the series for promoting witchcraft and Satanism. "It contains some powerful and valuable lessons about love and courage and the ultimate victory of good over evil," said Paul Hetrick, spokesman for Focus on the Family, a national Christian group based in Colorado Springs. "However, the positive messages are packaged in a medium — witchcraft — that is directly denounced in Scripture." ^[1] Accordingly, Harry Potter has been the subject of various book burnings.^[2] Continuing with the same line of reasoning, in 2002, Chick Publications went so far as to produce a comic book tract called "The Nervous Witch" about two teenage girls who get seriously involved in occult witchcraft and become demonically possessed as a direct result of reading Harry Potter books. ^[3]
