Where do they come up with these things?

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft...
1 Samuel 15:23a

This is what they are saying now...

Is Harry the Chosen One?
As Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens, we are once again reminded of the characteristics that make him something of a Christ figure.

Uh...hullo. I don't think so. According to a puny little comparison chart on beliefnet.com, some folks have concluded that Harry Potter has fulfilled similar prophecies. But truthfully, these few fictional things can NOT even come close, and are not even worthy to be compared with the Messianic prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Unless, of course, this is the spirit of the anti-Christ figure. In my humble opinion, to compare a pop hero of the cult of children's witchcraft with Jesus the Messiah is pretty much a blasphemous thing to do. But then again, it's not surprising, as today we are seeing a lot of compromising Christians praising J.K. Rowling and God in the same breath for the genius of the Harry Potter books, etc. (see here for example).
