Several weeks back, we posted an Ask Doug segment with Doug Wilson and N.D. Wilson discussing the use of Magic in Literature. This post generated a lot of interest and quite a few follow-up questions. If you haven’t viewed the first segment, you can find it here. In this follow-up segment, Doug and N.D. respond to some of the comments and questions that the original post prompted.

I would like to know exactly what the problematic issues are with the Harry Potter series. This has been a very difficult topic to handle with my children who have all seen the Lord of the Rings and Chronicles movies. I would like to have some bullet points to share with my kids so their clearly see the difference, if you feel there is a difference.
Thanks for the “enlightening” video.
The question I have is this:
Rev 21:8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
also
Deut 18:10 says this, “There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer”
The Bible does no look too kindly on the socery/wizards. So can we have good sorcerers in a movie? Gandalf? He is portrayed as pure, wise wizard. Makes you think that wizardry is ok. But the Bible says it is not. So what should our response as Christians be?
Thanks
