HOLLYWOOD, CA (ANS) -- The Pope may have condemned the Harry Potter books, but J K Rowling has now revealed that Christianity has been one of her major inspirations.
This shock news which will surprise many Christians was revealed in a story that has appeared on the Telegraph newspaper online website.

I don't read Harry Potter (which always shocks my library patrons, LOL), so I really can't comment more on it... but I don't see why it couldn't have been inspired by Christianity & still have a homosexual character. Judging by the threads on these religion forums, we all know there are varying opinions on the subject - even among the Christians.
Another homosexual thread..WoweeI saw an interview with the author when her first book was published.. Harry Potter began as a story she told and retold her son at bedtime. If all the stories I told my kids and grandkids were ever published I guess I would be labled a witch since they all liked my scary stuff... I wonder if the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson and poor ole Mother Goose got talked about
I think this is just stupid. I believe she's doing either to 'annoy' the religious critics of her books or just to stir up controversy since her books finished.
The only way to get 'annoyed' is to ALLOW yourself to be annoyed. It's a book. Period. Move on.
