harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince_unopooIf you really want to know, here’s the truly worst and most horrid part of the Harry Potter series, a part that all critics in their zeal to condemn (or even slander) the series have missed.

From an advertising slogan of the Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes joke shop:

Why are you worrying about You-Know-Who?

E. Stephen Burnett explores fantastical stories for God’s glory as publisher of Lorehaven.com and its weekly Fantastical Truth podcast, and coauthored The Pop Culture Parent and other resources for fans and families. He and his wife, Lacy, live in the Austin area, where they serve in their local church. His first novel, a science-fiction adventure, arrives in 2025 from Enclave Publishing.
