This one isn't entirely baseless. It is not that hard to see how those books (while harmless fiction in and of themselves) could open more impressionable minds up to dabbling in the occult.
Dabbling in the occult?
Unless you count shouting random sentences in Ancient Greek, Latin and Aramaic whilst waving around a fake wand occult practices I'm not sure how impressionable minds would even make the connection.
The only people informing kids about the occult are the people up in arms over Harry Potter in the first place.
That would explain why you pal around with atheists here.
My daughter is a big Harry Potter fan.
We've both watched the movies, & she's read all the books.
We're now so corrupted that we grab fake wands & say fake spells, which always end in "iosa".
It's a scientific fact that children who cannot watchDamn! You must be a super quadruple baby eating Satanist Nazi by now!
Lol my mum tried to ban me from watching the Simpsons as a kid. (Doesn't really work if you have a TV in your room.)
But I think she accidentally got it confused with Family Guy because she caught an Ep a few years later and was like "oh THATS the Simpsons?!"
the Simpsons will become like Rod & Todd Flanders.
Lol, that's why I substituted it with South Park.
Yeah, otherwise I would NTSC around with you them, which is bad. Or is it good?

It is entirely baseless. It's no different than saying the Lord of the Rings, Sword in the Stone, or Wizard's First Rule is going to draw people into the occult. And I think it's pretty much understood and accepting by everyone except the Conservatives saying otherwise that Harry Potter is nothing more than a fantasy that brings in creatures and settings and character archetypes that have been a part of our cultural stories for hundreds or even thousands of years into a modern age (modern at least when they came out - the world has changed much since then).
Hey, thanks for the heads up and good thing you noticed it! It was a typing mistake, by the way. I wanted to say "is", which could still be wrong or less rhetoric/formalJust one more demon teaching you English.
I don't know.
What's "NTSC"?

I'm so old it wasn't even electronic media. It was books.
When I was Scouting age my troop was going on a two week trip to Halliburton Canukistan. I was very excited. But I woke up the morning we were to leave with a fever and wasn't allowed to go. Luckily, there were two sets of leaders. One was driving up for the second week so I could ride up with them. My mom probably made me take a sleeping bag and toothbrush, I don't remember. What I do remember was the books I took to read in the car. "To Kill a Mockingbird " and "1984".
My Scoutmaster found them in the car after we arrived. He was horrified that I had this communist propaganda, clearly meant to destroy the minds of young Americans*. Pointing out that I got them from the Junior Great Books club at my Catholic school didn't change anything, he confiscated them. That started a running battle between him and me which didn't end well.
He was actually a good guy, meant well. I'm not sure if he ever realized that the battle we fought put me on the road to atheistic leftism(such as it is)
What I did learn is that grownups who are powerful and confidently self righteous can also be miserably wrong. I kinda stopped believing in authorities without something a bit more credible to back up their opinion.

* that is a quote. I remember it to this day.
It's a video color streaming standard. In my country, unlike in USA, the one we follow use is PAL, so it is natural for me to pal atheists.

It's the TV video setting for American TVs, and sometimes it's found in Japan, but specifically for Japan as it is NTSC-J. Just about everybody else uses PAL.
How old are you again???
Old enuf to call you sonny, sonny!
