In light of the Harry Pottercraze--which is still going on--I was surprised when I got the book Looking for God in Harrry Potter (John Granger) recommended to me. I'd never really considered any Christian imagery in the books up until I recently finished Deathly Hallows. Apparently, Looking for God in Harry Potter by John Granger (as well as the Hidden Keys to Harry Potter) are supposed to be quite illuminating in this respect. I'd really love it if someone would scan either of these, and I would definitely validate.

It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely relationships were ever present. It is quite easy for me to think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances. It is quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences. It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes without taking in account the psychological and historical factors that play upon the individual.

True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do.

--Victor Hugo

It is not true that the saints and the great contemplatives never loved created things, and had no understanding or appreciation of the world, with its sights and sounds and the people living in it. They loved everything and everyone.

--Thomas Merton
