Thanks to all who wrote back about the Harry Potter review. Some sent
websites or other suggestions, shared below in case any of you are
interested and for future reference. A couple writers noted that reviews
they read suggested the movie was categorized as "entertainment" (!)
*A great, well-written review of the Harry Potter series, which, in a
scholarly and neat manner debunks each of the common arguments about the
evils of the series; enjoyable reading! The author is Steven Tigner,
Associate Scholar at the Center for the Advancement of Ethics and Character
at the Boston University School of Education.

movie and series:

*Harry Potter website with several reviews from various sources re:
book/movies from a variety of sources.
Go to http://www.hogwarts.esmartweb.com/banHarryPotter.html
then scroll down to CChristianity Today reviews Harry Potter
*The following book was also mentioned: "What's a Christian to do with
Harry Potter?" by Connie Neal The author of that e-mail hasn't read the
book, but read a review which implied the book is comparing Christianity to
Harry Potter.
*One writer also did some research and found the website of the author of
the original review, Kjos Ministries, http://www.crossroad.to/index.html
