Thumbs up

A wizard in the biblical sense, in my mind, would be someone who uses witchcraft and "hocus-pocus-size-of-a-chafige". The use of natural things, and perverting them by use of said witchcraft. Harry Potter is human, and mortal, as a 'real' wizard would be, unlike Gandalf who is a higher being.
I can't find the Bible references right now (its too early in the morning ) But I will this afternoon.

are you trying to say that J.K. Rowling consulted Hollywood before she started writing the series? Or are you saying that she was already under the influence of Hollywood?
I'm saying the latter. Most modern types of media do. It’s kind of unavoidable. By "The Hollywood Ideology", I was kind of generalising, it's not just Hollywood that holds the ideologies, but its one of the most prominent. A form of conformity, in a way.

Quote:
And if so, could you give an instance from the books that show this?
It’s more to do with the general layout of the books, being overtly thesis-antithesis-thesis, which is a Hollywood trend.

I'll have to update this post later when I have more time...
