Christianity in Harry Potter

Once upon a time, I was really bored over spring break and decided to, yet again, read the final book of the Harry Potter series, The Deathly Hallows.  As I did so, I found a couple lines in the book that seemed to reference Bible verses, which I didn't remember noticing before.  The two lines in question actually were inscriptions on Harry's parents' graves and Dumbledore's family's graves respectively: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" and "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."  So, the first verse is 1 Corinthians 15:26 and the second one is Matthew 6:21.  However, while it seems to many that there are lots of Christian themes in the Harry Potter novels- such as sacrifice, forgiveness, life after death, love, etc- many people have also condemned JK Rowling's novels for having pagan and occult themes as well- such as witchcraft, magic, astrology, numerology, etc.  Actually, here are a couple of articles that deal with both.

In the first one, JK Rowling reveals that Christianity was one of her main inspirations and that the Harry Potter books reflect her own struggle with faith, and the other one claims that Harry Potter is detrimental to kids and could be a "doorway to the occult."  I personally love Harry Potter and never for an instant even thought about calling it bad for children, but as these two articles demonstrate, there are many different ways to interpret the same thing.  Although, I think the article with JK Rowling is pretty definitive and that Harry Potter was not intended to be the so-called "doorway to the occult."  Now, one could probably talk about and analyze the potential Christian themes in Harry Potter for ages as there are thousands of pages contained within the series, but here is a website that is devoted to exploring them.

However, it clearly focuses on the themes of love and sacrifice that can be found within the Harry Potter series.  Obviously, the most prominent example of this would be the way that Lily sacrificed herself for Harry.
