(#12) Outside
Reading: Harry Potter
There are so many people that are against the Harry Potter
series because magic is frowned upon in the Christian world. My aunt is really
against Harry Potter because she thinks that it is anti-Christian. I am
obsessed with Harry Potter and I get so angry every time I am around my aunt
because I have tried to explain to her several times that Harry Potter is a
Christ figure. Lewis and Tolkien heavily influenced J. K. Rowling. In the Chronicles of Narnia novels, The Lord of
the Rings, and in the Harry Potter
series there is a Christ figure that sacrifices himself for the good of others.
In the Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan is a Christ figure because
he is resurrected after he sacrificed himself for Edmund. In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf is seen
also seen as a Christ figure because he comes back from the dead after fighting
off the balrog in the mines so that the others could escape. At the end of the
seventh novel in the Harry Potter
series, Harry sacrifices himself to Lord Voldemort so that the battle would
stop. All three novels have a character that is resurrected after sacrificing
himself so that his friends and family were protected. As both a Christian and
a fan on Harry Potter I wish everyone could see how Harry represents Christ.
