London:
The Church of England has slammed BBC bosses for airing
"Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone" on Christmas.
They say that showing anything that deals with the supernatural
on a day like Christmas is improper. "The BBC has picked
the least suitable time to show it. Harry Potter portrays
witchcraft and black magic in a fictional way but it is
capitalizing on the supernatural," The Sun quoted a Church
of England spokesman, as saying. "The Harry Potter books
are full of magic, witches, wizards, spells, ghosts, poltergeists
and all the other stuff that we associate with the occult
- and we see the occult as something dangerous," added Andrew
Carey, the son of the former Archbishop of Canterbury.
