WorldNetDaily Poll: Does Rowling Promote Witchcraft?

Item: Author: 'Pottermania' spells trouble: Warns real occultism permeates popular children's books/WorldNetDaily

Question: What do you think of claims Harry Potter is hooking young people into witchcraft?

1. I agree, and it's a good thing since it's the best life philosophy
2. Nonsense, stories like 'Narnia' and 'Lord of the Rings' also include witchcraft
3. It doesn't matter, as long as Harry is prompting kids to read
4. Evidence is undeniable, the Wicca movement itself credits Potter for increasing interest in witchcraft
5. Of course there'll be some interest, but there's no reason to blame the books and the movies
6. I doubt it, since shows like 'Bewitched' and 'I Dream of Jeannie' didn't seem to increase witchcraft interest
7. It's true and sadly, it's leading millions of youth into spiritual darkness
8. I agree, and therefore Harry Potter should be avoided at all costs
9. I wish to respond to this poll, but unfortunately I've been turned into a newt
10. Other

DFO: Nos. 5 & 6
