You read the series because your church was critical of it. I started the series because of all the good things I heard about it in church. There was never an official stance, but in sitting around at fellowship meals I heard people discussing the series. One was a school teacher that taught the book in class.

There was never any "magic is evil" talk about the book. On the contrary, they discussed how it was a book of good vs evil, using mythology that a lot of children were already interested in. They even discussed how they thought it was silly how other churches condemned what they had obviously not read.

I see your thoughts, but I don't see Harry set up as a christ figure. He didn't substitute himself for others, he just decided to take Moldyshorts out with him. By your reasoning, anyone who did a good deed at their own detriment would be a christ figure.
