text: harry potter is taking the blame for the "witchcraft" in the series but why isn't lord of the rings? harry potter is always being criticized for the "witchcraft" content in it, but lord of the rings wasn't. actually, many of the things in harry potter were taken from lotr.  dementors- ring wraiths invisibility cloak a new one that i've recentely discovered: horcruxes are very similar to the rings. one of each always know where the others are.  post your comments on this subject. i personally think some people have too much time on their hands.  both book and movie series are wonderful fantasies--period.  anyone trying to make an issue of witchcraft as some sort of anti-christian attack are likely the same people trying to convince the rest of the world that america is ignoring christmas.
