For all you Harry Potter haters/sceptics:
Before Harry was born, a wizard "...went...bad. About as bad as you could go. Worse. Worse than worse." He terrorized the wizarding world with a a deadly curse. Harry became famous as The Boy Who Lived when he survived that curse. Voldermort murdered Harry's dad, then threw the curse at Harry, but Harry's mom took the curse on herself to save him. Voldermort hit Harry with the curse again. That's how he got his lightning bolt scar. But the curse was broken. Hagrid calls this "a great myst'ry". Lily Potter loved her son so much that she gave her life. She jumped in front of the curse to save him. At the end of the story, the evil one couldn't even touch Harry! As Dumbledore said, "to have been loved so deeply", gave Harry protection forever. What a great story! It's set in a fantasy world. There's another great story. It REALLY HAPPENED in our world...
Before the world began, an angel went...bad. Worse. Worse than worse. God cast him out of heaven, like lightning, see? He tricked people into disobeying God and hit 'em with a deadly curse. People lived in fear of death until the curse was broken. Jesus broke the curse. he took it on himself when he died on the cross. When Jesus came back alive that proved the curse was broken. "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not die but have eternal life. (John 3:16). Believe in Jesus. He is the REAL elixir of life. Then you can be The Boy (or Girl) Who Lived. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (that angel who went bad). He prayed we would "be protected from the evil one." In our world, all witchcraft is like the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. So don't dabble! Practice Defense Against the Dark Arts. Get all your supernatural power from God.
