Can we really blame the kids when Hollywood, adults, TV programs, movies, video games, board games, occult/Goth fashions, and even Christian Pastors downplay the witchcraft of Harry Potter and the new, falsely-so-called, 'Christian Wicca'. These are just one of the reasons why kids are becoming so intrigued by the occult and thus opening themselves up to demonic activity. J.K. Rowling has helped a bit too...NOW over 300 million Harry Potter books sold worldwide. The kids are just folowing suit as the USA plunges itself headlong into every form of occultism under the sun.

Let us not forget what God has warned of over 150 times in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 18:9-14
"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire [idolatry] , or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do."
