I never read the books but I like the Harry Potter movies, and it seems to me that what those HP movies are telling and demonstrating is a Godly message fitting for any religious faith, because it has a realistic type of magic.
As in a person can not fly, but they have broom sticks which makes them fly, so it has a realistic application. Just as they need magic wands and use potions and spells to make things happen, which means that the HP magic has a realistic application, because a broom could have a small rocket or jet motor in order to fly, and the wands could have a small laser and batteries to make them work, and etc.
I find that the hard line Christian people do not like HP at all, and I say this realism of HP is what brings up the Christian defenses, in that miracles and magic are very closely aligned, so then magic made realistic counters the very idea of supernatural miracles - which is what I like about it.
Of course next (as always) I take things much farther, as like the HP stories have some few people who become ghost after death while most other people do NOT become ghost, which I see as accurate in real life with real ghost.
It also has a peculiar message about evil which is very impressive, in that the evil is very humanistic and realistic, just as the arch villain Voldemort is at first an invisible or unseen creature like a spirit creature, but later after he becomes personified as a human then that is when we see the evil as mortal, and thereafter it dies.
In my view there is a very real God who is active and participating in this world, and thereby I see the Harry Potter stories as some message or purpose coming from the thing we call as God.
I do not mean to say that its author J.K. Rowling is a prophet of God, but I do say that God used her as His instrument, just as God could use any other person, except that she was the prime exceptional candidate in this case.
My perception is that God uses the messages included in the HP stories as His way of preparing mankind for our future destiny.
It appears to be like putting on salt to enhance the flavor.
I do not view that HP message as being a message just for Christian - no, as the message is for the general population or a.k.a. the ignorant masses.
An intelligent person can expect an intelligent message, and an enlightened person can expect an enlightened message, so also an emotional nit-wit can expect to receive an emotional nit-wit message.
Even the messages of God are limited by the depth or the integrity of the receivers.
Alternative views are invited and welcome.
