Jesus Christ and the Deathly Hallows
Somebody thinks that, far from being Satanic, Harry's a
bit like Jesus. In particular, they draw a parallel between Jesus'
resurrection and Harry's rising after the
Adava Kedavra (he's done it twice now, 2 more times than anybody
else) and then killing Voldemort.
While talking of the Boy Who Lived, I've been impressed how much more well-balanced --- racially and gender-wise --- the HP books are than, say, LoTR. While LoTR is a better constructed fantasy world and better written, the joy of discovering a series of HP's quality and scope as it is being written is incomparable. Not to mention that it was a genius idea to set the magical world right in our midst and our time.
