Some quotations of witchcraft and violence

“Call her up,” said the grey voice. “We are ready. Draw the circle. Prepare the blue fire.”…

“So that is your plan…! Black sorcery and the calling up of an accursed spirit.”

“I mean the Witch. Sit down again. Don’t all take fright at a name as if you were children. We want power: and we want power that will be on our side.”

“[O]ut of the water came a great wet, bearded head, larger than a man’s, crowned with rushes…. [O]ut of its mouth a deep voice came.”

“Hail. Lord,” it said. “Loose my chains.”

“Who on earth is that?”

“I think it’s the river-god, but hush,”…

“Bacchus,”…”Deliver him from his chains.”

“[The hero] slashed his legs from under him and, with the back-cut of the same stroke, walloped off his head.”

“A dull grey voice …replied, “I’m hunger. I’m thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy’s body and bury it with me….I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.”

Also included is numerous references to astrology by good characters.

 

Are these evil things describing real witchcraft and violence in Harry Potter? No. All of these quotations are from the children’s Christian classic Chronicles of Narnia [quotes found in Neal What’s a Christian to do with Harry Potter?]. So here’s my question, why aren’t more Christians trying to get Lewis banned from schools?
