PS, I have no problem with Harry Potter, or LotR.
I personally am in the Corwin camp on this one… I too have read much about him and his beliefs and agenda. I won't see it and I won't allow my children to see it… while at the same time I have no problem with them seeing other fantasy based movies…
just my choice…
