Harry Potter is a Trojan horse – a clever vehicle able to implant a sort of satanic receptor in the human soul – making youngsters vulnerable to demonic activity and possible demon infestation / possession. Trojan Horse is also a name of computer virus, which implants itself in your computer and makes you vulnerable to demonic activity of the hacker, who decided to possess you. Hey, they got almost everything right. HP is simply a new sort of Trojan horse, named so by HP possessed hacker, who... in turn got possessed by Rowling's creation. OMG, THEY WERE RIGHT!
Then we have names such as "Azkaban", "Circe", "Draco", "Erised", "Hermes", and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. Hermes = Hermione, "Erised" = the Mirror of Desire, but what does "Circe" refer to? Want to bet some demons would be invented, even if Rowling used only usual names, like "Harry" and "Ron"? Oh, wait... they already did that in Hermione's case. I have always thought that religion is supposed to make one feel safer, but on such people it has the opposite effect - living is a world surrounded by demons is scary.
the Church of Satan being comprised of a bunch of poseurs who got all their ‘rituals’ by reading fantasy books and rewatching “The Craft” DVDs. Allistair Crowley is spinning in his grave! His ideas were too lofty to survive being carried into masses. Had to be transformed into something more popular culture-like.
his sick obsession became that much more apparent when he took Potter for 'private lessons' and took him to bars, and out gay-cruising on school nights! Sounds even more interesting than what we got in HBP. "Took him to bars" probably refers to them passing near the bar to and from the cave. "Gay-cruising on school nights" = the visit to Horace Slughorn, so that Harry would persuade him to resume teaching. Is there some grass to smoke to make DH's camping trip that interesting too?
