Answer:
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is a hit. The Box Office is gloating with a five-day loot of $400 million and a prediction of a billion dollar global gross, catapulting the film amongst the top blockbusters of the world. But amongst the hype and the hoopla, there was a strange bit of news that hit the international headlines, before the film was released. The British and American papers declared that the Pope had forgiven Harry Potter.
Now what has the Pope got to do with HP! And why in God’s name would Potter need to be absolved and forgiven by the pontiff? Well, the Pope and many Christian theologists believed Potter was a terrible role model for zillions of his young readers due to his irreligosity. The Pope believed that "despite several positive values that can be found in the story" the Harry Potter saga celebrated "witchcraft, the violent manipulation of things and people thanks to the knowledge of the occult to the advantage of a select few". He disagreed with the very crux of the Rowling story whereby he felt that a chosen few tried to control the dark powers and turn them into good. This, he felt, was a grave and deep lie which merely fitted in with the agnostic’s thesis about "confusing salvation and truth with a secret knowledge." In short, he and other conservative Christian theologists wondered where was God in the Potter world.
However, just after a preview of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Pope Benedict declared Potter was no longer a sinner, since he was actually a warrior in the eternal war of good against evil. And Harry was absolved because he happened to be on the right side of this battle, unlike the Dark Lord. The pontiff turned into a Potterphile because he felt the latest film drew "a clear line of demarcation between good and evil, making clear that good is right, and that in some cases this involves hard work and sacrifices", according to a Vatican newspaper.
The Pope wasn’t alone in raising a question mark on Harry’s heroism. A week ago, the London Times carried an article that posed the important query to its readers: WOuld you send your kids to Hogwarts? The writer confessed she didn’t think Hogwarts was a suitable school for her children at least since the syllabus did not include real leassons like math, geography, history and the teachers did not treat their students well. would teachers like Dolores Umbridge and Professor Snape be licensed to teach? the writer wondered. And wouldn’t Hermione — Ron and Harry too — love to read some English literature, instead of being saddled with potion making and learning magic.
Got the point, all you Hogwarts haters. Understandably, mumbo-jumbo makes sense only in magical make-believe. In the real world, Harry’s wand would amount to nothing, when it comes to warding off evil or saving the planet. But that’s not the real point. Harry’s heroism holds not because of victory or defeat, which may depend on the power of his magical skills, the potency of his spells and the rest of the supra-normal stuff. Neither does Harry’s story draws its appeal from the fact that he’s the Chosen One, the first amongst equals. Instead, he stands tall, in iconic mould, only because he chooses to remain the Chosen One, knowing that the path isn’t going to be easy; that the Dark Lord is a much more powerful enemy; that he may loose his loved ones — friends and well-wishers — on the way; that he will have no time for love — and Ginny; and finally, that he might even have to die in this diabolical war. Yes, Harry knows his journey to victory isn’t going to be easy, yet he chooses to undertake this life-threatening save-the-world mission, because what’s life without a larger-than-life cause.
