I am really disappointed that you tried to challenge what the men of God said re the evil of HP books and movies and unworthy of our reading and meditating upon according to Phil 4:8.
Of course, if these things are worthy, by all means read and meditate on these things. You just don't seem to sense the seriousness of plunging yourself into something that God abhors. Sorry, I have to disagree with you for suggesting that the Bible is be treated like HP books. Far be from it, the Bible with all its revelations of good, bad and ugly are given for our learning and worthy of our reading and meditating. For eg, the Bible's mentioning of witchcraft comes with God's judgment against it; but not so with HP books which promote the goodness of witchcraft and fail to pass judgment on such evil practices. According to Ps 1:1-3, you will be blessed if you meditate on God's word but the ungodly will perish according to Ps 1:4-6. Yes, once you have determined the worthiness or unworthiness of these things according to Phil 4:8 and according to the godly men who are well-versed and in touch with such realities to be credible in their critiques, we do well to take heed and not fall into the devil's trap. Here you have already asked yourself and convince that the books are evil for these are manuals on witchcraft, you want to abstain from these books and not wanting to read them for if you are truly born again, you will hate what God hates. If you have judged that the books are evil or appear to be evil, then you will do well to obey God's word in 1 Thess 5:22(Amplified).
Abstain from evil [shrink from it and keep aloof from it] in whatever form or whatever kind it may be. Is there any hint in the above verse that we are to hold it in our hands and to read it or see it re such evil in print or on screen. They are targetting the children with these HP books in TIMES bookstore under TIMES Bestseller(Children). Please don't place these books in the hands of our impressionable children. You are like placing "fire" in their lives which will destroy them. I would rather be creditable by obeying God's word than be credible in the sight of men and compromised God's principle. I seek not the approval of men but God's approval. Delight in Him,
