So I've been thinking about this a lot lately...I discussed this with a friend a few months ago. We were talking about how many Christian groups (as tu well know) have condemned HP as anti-Christian. In fact, I believe that the Harry Potter story is actually a symbolization of the Christian religion.
Note: This is entirely my opinion and is not meant as "Christian propaganda" o to offend anyone in the slightest. It is merely my opinion! :)

Harry Potter is Jesus. Whaaaaat?!
1) Both HP and jesús were born into humble beginnings.
jesús was born in Bethlehem, a tiny town literally in the middle of nowhere. There were no rooms for Mary and Joseph in any of the inns so they had to stay overnight in a stable where Mary gave birth among the animales to jesús where he was placed in a manger. He grew up in a plain and simple environment, no one who noticed him would think that he would become the Savior of the world. Harry too, was born to an ordinary family. He was also raised outside of the wizarding world (by muggles!) and did not look like he would one día be their savior.
2) Both had to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
The entire purpose of Jesus' life was to provide the greatest sacrifice: his own life for everyone else's. When he sacrificed himself, he saved the rest of the world from sin and therefore, death. Harry too, had to face death and be killed por Voldemort in order to save the lives of everyone else; once Harry discovered he was a horcrux, as long as he lived, Voldemort survived.

3) Both of them rose from the dead.
After jesús died on the cross, he rose from the dead 3 days later. Harry too, after Voldemort killed him in the Deathly Hallows, came back to life.
4)Harry's scar/the mark of God
In the book of Revelation, it states that those who follow God will receive his protective mark that will keep them seguro from God's judgments on unbelievers and the Anti-Christ. Harry's scar is also a protective mark on him, a symbol of his mother's amor which helps keep him seguro from Voldemort and gives him the weapon of love.

Dumbledore is God. No, really. He is.
1)Both were in control all along.
God had a purpose for having his only son, Jesus, come to Earth. He knew how things needed to go and gave jesús the power to perform miracles. Dumbledore, like God, knew what was going to have to happen. He gave Harry the power to fight Voldemort (memories in the Pensieve, the resurrection stone, etc) and taught Harry how to think in order to defeat Voldemort.

2) Dumbledore is the symbol of good.
God is the Father of all and the direct opposition to Satan, the symbol of evil. No matter what happens to Harry in the first 6 books, he always has Dumbledore to turn to for guidance and support because Dumbledore is promoting good over evil.
3) My God, my God why have tu forsaken me?!
These words were spoken por jesús on the cross; as he was carrying the burden of the sins of everyone God turned away spiritually from jesús (but NOT permanently). Harry too, felt abandoned por Dumbledore in the 7th book because he felt that there were many things that Dumbledore did not tell him o prepare him for.

Voldemort is such a slithery serpent!
1) Both are very, very tempting.
jesús led a perfect life, but not without temptation. The Devil tried to trick him, tempt him (i.e. offering him water if he bowed down to him in the desert after jesús was fasting for 40 days and 40 nights). There were plenty of opportunities for jesús to give up and turn to Satan. Harry, too, was tempted por Voldemort on multiple occasions to give up and give into him, even registrarse his side! But Harry didn't.

2) Both are symbols of evil.
This is relatively self explanatory; Satan represents the evil in the world as does Voldemort in HP world.
3)Both are "fallen angels."
Satan (Lucifer) used to be a angel; he was one of the most powerful in Heaven and God trusted him. But when Lucifer decided that he was better and attempted to have God usurped he was cast out of Heaven along with his demons to Hell. Voldemort, too, was a very special wizard that had special talents and Dumbledore looked on him as a promising student. But when Voldemort attempted to gain más power than he should have, he nearly lost his life trying to kill Harry and was thrown into oblivion for nearly 11 years.

Some más parallels:
1)Disciples/Dumbledore's Army
Jesus' disciples were chosen to follow jesús and help him spread the word of God. They were dado the power to perform miracles and stood por jesús and Jesus' cause. The D.A., too, was created por Harry to stand for Dumbledore and the cause of fighting Voldemort in the face of evil.
2) Peter Pettigrew: Judas Iscariot?
Judas, one of Jesus' disciples, was trusted to help jesús but instead betrayed him and gave him away to the guards so that jesús could be arrested and crucified. P.P. was also a trusted member of the Order of the Phoenix and betrayed the position of Harry when he was a baby resulting in James and Lily's death and Harry's almost death.

3)The lion and the serpent.
In the Bible, and in the Christian world, jesús is often referred to as the "Lion of Judah." In the Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan is also a representation of jesús and is a lion. In the Bible, the Devil is represented as a serpent; he takes that form when he tempts Eve in the garden. In HP, the House of Gryffindor is not only the House of both Harry and Dumbledore, but a symbol of good. Most of the "good guys" come out of Gryffindor. Slytherin, in contrast, is the House of Voldemort and the "bad guys" and serves as the evil to Gryffindor's good.
4)Sword of Gryffindor/the Cross
The cruzar, cruz of jesús is the representation of cristianismo and used por many (nowadays) to spread the "truth" of God and let others know that they follow God. The Sword of Gryffindor is used as "the sword of truth" in effect. It is what comes to the aide of Harry in multiple instances to help him defeat the Horcruxes. Dumbledore leaves it to Harry and without it, he never would have defeated Voldemort.
5) Muggles/Jews
Throughout history, the Jews have been persecuted por Christians for not being believers in Christ (even though they too are the children of God). Hitler persecuted the Jews in an effort to create a perfect race. In HP world, Muggles are persecuted as the Jews are. In Deathly Hallows especially, the Death Eaters treat the Muggles like criminals and imprison them in order to "purify" the human race (sound familiar? :/)
6) HP vs. Voldemort: One of them has to go!
The book of Revelation in the Bible tells us that jesús will come again one day, and there will be one last battle between jesús and Satan in which Satan will be defeated and jesús take back control of the world: everything will be good again. Harry too, after coming back to life, has to defeat Voldemort in one last battle. When he wins, he regains control of the Wizarding community, and everything is at peace.


I know there are probably plenty más examples that i just didn't think of o missed, but I hope tu got my point! I also want to point out that there are many differences between HP and the Bible and none of the examples i listed are perfect, but i think that the similarities were worth noting. Feel free to add más if tu have any! ;)
I thought of this cool Tik Tok Harry Potter parody.

Wake up in the mornin feelin like Harry Potter
Grab my wand

Being sorted into Slytherin is one of the biggest things that will happen in Hogwarts. Not only are Slytherins described to be pure-blooded, prejudiced and evil, and no one in Hogwarts seems to like them.

First, how many dark lords have been sorted into Slytherin? Lord Voldemort, one of the most evil Dark lords ever, is the main one. He was cunning, sly and ambitious. But could he have been better? The Harry Potter book states that teachers liked him and his charm.

But Lord Voldemort isn’t the problem. It’s the fact that when people think of him, they know he was sorted into Slytherin. Many...

I've been a devoted Harry Potter fan since I was five. At that time, I didn't read the books, but just focused on the movies, and they fascinated me greatly. I knew all the spells por heart, and I used to say the lines as I watched the cine again. I had misceláneo Harry Potter stuff written down on my school books, and I used to make a wooden wand and practice all the non-existent spells.

Then, I moved to London, and there, my cousin forced me to read the books. It was the greatest thing I had ever done, and I thank my cousin for it. He shoved the first book in my face and said, "Read it! The movies...

It began with hello;
but ended before goodbye.

Niether of us thought
that either of us would die.

It started one fall day,
I was way in over my head;
all I needed was a friend.

I grew up por your side,
tu grew up por mine.

We didn't know
I was living on borrowed time.

But now here I lay,
ahem, lie;
dressed in white,
blank eyes to the sky.

tu walk over slowly and whisper goodbye.
tu look so odd as tu begin to cry.

Goodbye to tu also, my friend
but in my sight,
our friendship will never die.

-Inspired por the final battle
I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons, nor will I insist that their House colores indicate that they are "covered in bees".

No matter how good a fake Australian accent I can do, I will not imitate Steve Irwin during Care of Magical Creatures class.

Growing marihuana o hallucinogenic mushrooms is not "an extra credit project for Herbology".

"I've heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood's name" is not a challenge.

The Giant Squid is not an appropriate fecha to the Yule Ball.

I will not use Umbridge's quill to write "I told tu I was hardcore".

If a classmate falls asleep, I will not take advantage...

Can tu find a snobby, spoiled, pretty, and a bossy little girl like Samantha Jessa Crane? She is an American-British-Sioux Indian-Irish-Chinese-Jewish girl who likes to bullying every "useless people" in her school since kindergarten.

Her personality is a little bit of narcisstic and careless, but she don't mind with the latter because she have many perfect allies. While Hogwarts sent a letter to Karen Hoskins, the half-blood next-door, the postman incorrectly gives the letter to her because McGonagall accidentally writes the wrong house number.

The new students’ arrival was met with tumultuous applause. But none of the unsorted 11 año olds heard a thing. For there was only one thought in their mind, where will I be sorted? Then Professor Lovegood dicho in a silky voice “the sorting hat is ready.” Every one of the 11-year-olds face’s looked fretful. As they filed in, a very old and molding looking hat with a tear at the brim was placed on a taburete and the tear opened up like a mouth and it broke into song.
“ A thousand years o más hace when I was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well known:...

 Regulus
Regulus
Regulus Black died in 1979. He was killed por the inferi while he was on his quest to receive Voldemorts locket horcrux and later see it destroyed. He was only 18 years old.

Regulus was part of the Black Family, which was almost all Slytherins. They believed in blood-purity. Regulus did too, in the beginning of his life, although he was Sirius' younger brother. We know Regulus was interested in Lord Voldemort, because in the Deathly Hallows when the trio buscar his room for Voldemorts locket, they find newspaper clippings all around his room that were about Voldemort. In the beginning of his...

To begin, I suppose an explanation of this article's contents is in order. I have noticed, in seeing the films and then later re-reading the novels, that there are some character discrepancies. From humor to appearance, the characters in the films are, on occasion, very different from their fuente material. And it is in my humble opinion that the most important thing for a story to succeed is for there to be proper characterization. So, I hope I do not bore tu too badly in this look at character discrepancies in the Harry Potter series. I will only look at one thing per character to make this...

Heellooooo!!!! I'm feeling rather misceláneo today so I thought I'd take a leaf out of Emma's rather large, leather bound book and do a stupid Harry Potter quiz. It's not actually a story, just a misceláneo collection of letters put together to form a misceláneo collection of words which will, in turn, provide a misceláneo collection of potentially amusing sentences. So, enjoy my little freaks!!!

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'

2. Laugh at him.

3. Wake him up por canto playa Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'

4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.

5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.

6. Smile during Death Eater meetings and say tu taught him everything he knows.

7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.
