We saw the new Harry Potter movie last night. It was predictably excellent. Beyond the story and the quality production, I think I'm most encouraged by the strong morality lessons the movies (and I assume the books) promote. Courage. Honesty. Loyalty. A healthy disregard for silly rules. A sense of wonder.
It's all pretty great stuff. I find it hard to imagine that there's still a vocal faction of religious "fundamentalists" who think the story is evil, based on promotion of magic and witchcraft. Idiots.
