Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger expressed serious reservations about the sixth Harry Potter book. In a letter dated March 7, 2003 Cardinal Ratzinger thanked Kuby for her “instructive” book Harry Potter – gut oder böse (Harry Potter- good or evil?), in which Kuby says the Potter books corrupt the hearts of the young, preventing them from developing a properly ordered sense of good and evil, thus harming their relationship with God while that relationship is still in its infancy. I disagree. I do not think that the sixth Harry Potter book is not a good example.
