How enlightening it was to watch ObamaÕs half-hour infomercial last week and see him proudly reveal his love for Harry Potter, bragging with a big grin how heÕd read aloud all of the J.K. Rowling books with his 9-year-old daughter.

Even my young nephews, ages 5 and 7, know to steer clear of the worldÕs most popular-ever boy wizard. ItÕs pure evil and will only negatively influence their sponge-like minds with its Antichrist propaganda aimed at discipling children into the darkest aspects of black magick (Daniel 8:23-25).

Through Harry Potter books, printed globally in 40 different languages, kids as young as kindergarten age are being introduced to human sacrifice, the sucking of blood from dead animals, possession by spirit beings, on and on.

Just look at this cutesy outtake from a July wire article by The Associated Press:

Michelle Obama said her husband has read the books aloud with 9-year-old Malia and saw the latest movie, ÔHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,Õ with her last Sunday.

Both are awaiting the release of J.K. Rowling's seventh and final book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," this weekend, but finding time to read won't be easy, she said.

"The challenge will be scheduling Harry Potter reading time in between Iowa and New Hampshire and fundraising, but I guarantee you they will figure out a way to do it," Michelle Obama told the AP. "Harry Potter is huge in our house."

She wasn't sure how the family would get their copy of the book.

"He handles all of that. That's one of those things, I'm like 'You are the Harry Potter parent,'" she said.

In an immensely informative hour-long documentary on Google videos, called Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged, world-renowned cult and occult researcher Carol Marischiana, author of Gods of the New Age, thoroughly authenticates Harry PotterÕs true representation of witchcraft and the black arts and black magick.

Marischiana says, ÒÒMany argue that Harry Potter is merely childrenÕs fantasy and therefore itÕs harmless. The lie about this is that witchcraft is reality . . .

ÒThe powers that Harry is tapping into are the powers children think they can have and people say, ÔWell, my child doesnÕt practice those things,Õ but there is also a morality that is being taught. Harry cheats, Harry lies, Harry steals. His teachers steal. When Harry breaks the rules, the teachers donÕt punish him. In fact, teachers say that Ôrules are there to be broken,Õ so children are learning a moral worldview that is not based on biblical principles. . .

ÒWitchcraft is a religion. The U.S. Supreme Court has given witchcraft religious status. It gets tax-exempt status, it has a military chaplain. ItÕs recognized as a practicing religion. ItÕs the fastest growing religion in America incidentally. . .  

 ÒJ.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has gone through an awful lot of research. SheÕs very accurate; otherwise we would have witches all over the country and world saying this is not a true representation of our religion . . .

 Ò . . . Warner Brothers says that itÕs an accurate portrayal of witchcraft. So, here we have witches across the nation endorsing Harry Potter, saying that more than at any other time, Harry has initiated such a response to witchcraft that witches now have scores of witchcraft on the internet where children can come, get certificates of graduation to become witches.

Ò. . . Of course, the books have been promoted by Scholastic Inc., who has been the providers of curriculum for 80 years in public schools. So, here where Christianity has been taken out of the schools, we have a wizard, Harry Potter the witch, who goes to school with 350 other students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has been repackaged as a reading-incentive program promoted by Scholastic Inc., the publishers in our schools. Thirty-two million children a year are being reached by witchcraft repackaged.

ÒThe harm, first of all, is that witchcraft is being normalized to our children. For the first time in the history of the world, witchcraft is being given to children in a childrenÕs format and children are seeing other children practicing it and say itÕs all right.

ÒAnd, especially if the parents say, ÔWell, itÕs okay to read about other children being involved in this religion,Õ then children say, ÔWell, if they can be involved in it then so can I.Õ

Ò. . . The IRS has given it tax exemption, so this religion is being promoted through the public schools on our tax dollar and teaching children by occultists how to mix potions, how to put emphasis on certain spells, how to twist your arm and your wrist, how to concentrate when you want things. . . Ó

Rowling, who majored in mythology at Exeter University in England, readily acknowledges borrowing from pagan religions—Celtic religions, religions of the Druids, witchcraft, Satanism—and that lot of the spells, the incantations, the philosophy behind the mythology and the religions can be readily found in Harry Potter books.

As Marischiana explains, ÒThe actual name ÔPotter,Õ if you ask a witch, a pagan, any knowledgeable expert in the occult or hidden arts, the Potter is the female goddess; the Goddess of Babylon who is considered the potter who created human beings from clay and they believe that the patriarchal God of Christianity, the God of Israel, copied that in a very poor imitation because He cannot give birth.

ÒNow, listen to how important that is to understand. The feminine-oriented cult of witchcraft sees the woman and her process of birth as fundamental in the new life; the transformation, the alchemy, the changing of the inner man to higher consciousness, which is what Harry Potter is all about. In fact, thatÕs what the first book is called: The SorcererÕs Stone.

ÒThe alchemy to be transformed and changed through the inner man to become a new creature, which is again an upside down reversal of what a Christian believes that, when they come into understanding a relationship—a personal relationship with Christ—they are transformed and take on the mind of Christ.

ÒThe concept of fertility-based cults, feminine-oriented cults such as witchcraft, is the concept that the new birth can take place inside. Through meditation, you have inner transformation, inner wisdom, inner knowledge and all this is done through concentration, visualization.

ÒAll through HarryÕs books, Hermione and others say, ÔConcentrate, Harry, if you concentrate hard enough you can have what you want.Õ

Ò . . . One of the arguments is that Harry Potter series does not actually teach witchcraft; that it is not teaching the concepts of Ômother goddessÕ and her consort the horned god, which is essential to the fertility cults, or the fertility-oriented witchcraft religion.

ÒAnd, yes, there are the concepts of mother goddess being taught because HarryÕs mother gave her life for Harry. The sacrificial death that she gave through love is a symbolism of goddess worship; itÕs an inversion, if you will, of God the Father whose son gave His life, in love, for His people.

ÒNow, the concept of teaching Ômother goddessÕ is very, very important. HarryÕs mother gave her life for Harry so that he should be saved, and through this love sacrifice Harry was protected from death. Now this concept is brought up several times; in fact, it is so important in witchcraft and pagan thinking that Voldemort, HarryÕs arch-enemy, takes a vial of blood from Harry in book No. 4 in order to have the blood run through his own veins (so) that he can be resurrected and have a body. That is how powerful the blood sacrifice is.Ó
