THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY:
A Parent's Guide to HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE

HOLLYWOOD, CA (ANS) -- Warner Bros. is about to release the first in a series of movies based on the popular HARRY POTTER books. This movie will have an occult, New Age worldview that subtly encourages children to dabble in witchcraft and sorcery.

Although the Bible condemns such concepts in no uncertain terms, many parents will still allow their children to see this movie or read the book on which it's based, if they haven't done so already.

MOVIEGUIDE®: A Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment has developed a parent's guide to this phenomenon. Instead of simply bashing the movie, we will provide parents with a positive approach to the topic that will provide their children with the tools they need to become media-wise, literate moviegoers, readers and television viewers.

Please call us today at 1-800-599-6684 or (805) 383-2000 for your copy of THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY: A Parent's Guide to HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. Our staff is also available for phone consultations and even speaking engagements, seminars, workshops, and training sessions, so don't delay, CALL TODAY!

Note to Press: Our publisher, Dr. Ted Baehr, is available for interviews on this issue. An experienced scholar and television/radio personality with more than 20 years of knowledge and experience in the field of media literacy and theology, he can give your readers, viewers and listeners an intelligent, provocative perspective from a Christian point of view. Call (770) 825-0084 to set up an interview or for more details.
