Part of a series of innovative home group Bible studies, the material in this book is aimed at encouraging Bible study within the context of exploring topical issues in a Biblical way. All the studies in the series are based on popular books or films. The studies are designed to be creative and thought-provoking. Each section has a range of questions or options from which the leader can tailor the study to suit the group. Some of the themes explored in the Harry Potter study are: Magic - what are people looking for in the occult? Why is God so opposed to the occult? Adolescence - the Bible puts a high priority on family relationships, but what does that look like in practice? What about respecting authority? Is there a "spiritual adolescence"? Ambition - what's the difference between ambitions and dreams? Is ambition always selfish? How do we handle frustrated ambitions as Christians? Is Harry Potter a good role model in his ambitions? Good and Evil - does every cloud have a silver lining? How should we respond to evil? Does good always triumph?
