Light On Dark Water

…I should not have done that. I just read (while web-surfing with sandwich in hand) the description of a scene from the forthcoming final Harry Potter movies, and now I know something important about the movies which one wouldn't exactly know from reading the books. It will be a very moving scene–it was moving just to read about–and that's all I'm saying, and I'm not posting a link, so nobody will blame me if they encounter a spoiler.

My wife and I (and sometimes Clare, who was about the same age as Harry when the first book came out, and so grew up with the series) have been watching the movies recently. I hadn't seen the last two and didn't remember the others that well. They're really quite good. And–at risk of reigniting that controversy–I really think the Christians who object so strongly to them (books and movies) are mistaken. I think they're fundamentally healthy and good. As I think I've said before here, they're fundamentally about sacrificial love, and what can be more healthy and good than that?
