It clearly distinguishes good and evil. One of the downsides of
suburban America is that the lines between good and evil blur
easily. In urban contexts, darkness is much more difficult to
hide. The suburban distractions of materialism and
entertainment speak much more loudly than the vices more
common in urban contexts simply because evil is not as visibly
present. (Kathy Keller does a great job of exploring why
darkness is easier to discern in the city in her article, ―Why you
should raise your kids in the city.‖)

It inspires wonder. Let‘s face it, flying on broomsticks playing
quid ditch outside a magical castle is pretty awe-inspiring to
modern kids who ride around in mini-vans and play soccer all
day. I don‘t want my children limited to the confines of suburban
cookie-cutter worlds – I want them to forge creativity, to imagine
possibilities beyond their wildest hopes and dreams, to believe in
something bigger than what they can actually see. This is how
we grow better societies, and in the end, how we also find God.

It values relationships. In our modern, technological world, honest and
committed relationships are struggling. Our environment shouts for
instant everything, and provides increasingly fewer models of genuine
trust, endurance and perseverance. Harry, Hermione, and Ron model an
enduring, committed friendship – one in which they are each themselves
and appreciated for who they are, not who they wish each other to
be. When Harry tells Ron and Hermione information that has the
potential to threaten their very lives, they look at each other and gulp,
but barely hesitate to declare their allegiance to him.
It teaches symbolism. Perhaps the biggest critique the series has
received is from those with concerns about the focus on witches and
wizards. Like many great stories, the witches and wizards are merely
symbols to help children see truth (Narnia and Lord of the Rings also
have strong magical themes and haven‘t received near the kind of
criticism on this front as Harry Potter). While witches and wizards can
have other connotations, they don‘t inherently represent the same
thing. Throughout history, symbols have been a powerful influence in the
life of faith, and it‘s helpful for children to learn that sometimes there
are multiple meanings and layers to what they actually see –
people and objects included.

It demonstrates courage. When Voldemort returned to power, my
children cowered and cuddled close, concern burrowed in their little
brows. My son‘s had nightmares about death eaters and sometimes
sleeps with the hall light on, ‗just in case‘. But when they play, they
are never Voldemort or death eaters. They are, of course, Harry, Ron,
Ginny, Hermione, or Neville. These are characters who, though terribly
under-qualified and ill-equipped, demonstrate courage beyond their
years to fight evil because 1) it needs to be fought and 2) they are
friends who have each others‘ backs. Seeing this courage-in-action is
formative to my own children‘s future characters. I don‘t know what
they‘ll face in their lifetimes, but I want them to have a frame of
reference rooted in courage to do the right thing, even in the face of
great cost to themselves.
