Harry Potter Controversy: Magic
built 257 days ago
[T]o address the main concern of the critics of the Harry Potter series- does Harry Potter use magic and wizardry? Yes, he does. But in the big ending scene, it is interesting to note that Witchcraft and spells play a very small role in the final victory over the forces of evil.

Yes, Harry and his friends combat evil, but with what? With magic which has no source other than human knowledge, no transcendent good.
