I saw the trailer for the 6th Harry Potter this summer and was quite intrigued by it. I made it my goal to watch all 5 of them so I could be ready at midnight with everyone else when it comes out. And even though they pushed the release date back, I am ready cause I watched them all this week. I know, I know I should read the books and I promise I believe you people when you say this. I just don't have the time and the truth is I like movies more.
This may make me a bad christian, but I hate it when people try and get the gospel out of every movie these days. I mean just let Nick Spark's do his thing, ok? BUT I will say the 5th Potter is my favorite for just that reason. Towards the end, Voldemort gets inside Harry's head (literally) and starts to control his mind. All of these images of bad things that have happened to Harry over the years flash through his head but Harry fights back by controlling his own mind. It's my favorite part of the whole movie, when he says to Voldemort, "You're the weak one. And you'll never know love. or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." It's a really intense scene and I love the whole story of Harry Potter because of the constant battle between good and evil. And all of us have both inside of us. It would be so sweet if we were all wizards.

I want you to know that I just emoted a little bit reading this. That is EXACTLY the part that always gets me teary at the end, because it's so intense and powerful and I'm so glad you appreciate it for the right reasons and that we agree on really important things.
I think the phrase "try and get the gospel out of every movie" isn't really acurate. It's not like we're forcing the gospel out of a movie so much as we're just seeing what's already there. Like parables. That's why I like the Harry Potter series; good vs. evil and the power of love (real love, not enfatuation) is so prevelent.
