Should Orthodox Christians Watch the “Harry Potter” Movie?
When I was a kid, I used to read comic books and I used to watch superhero cartoons on television. Out in the neighborhood, the children on my street used to play “Superman” and act out some of the other roles of the superheroes we read about or watched on television.However, though we spent a lot of time reading comic books, my parents still made sure we spent time reading the Bible. And while Saturday mornings were dedicated to superhero cartoons, Sunday mornings were always dedicated to church. By the time we were ten, we began to outgrow these cartoons and comic books, and realize that the real heroes in the world were our parents, our teachers, our policemen and firemen, our doctors and the countless other hard-working men and women of the world.
