    You are better off not reading or watching these Potter movies. I know you don't want to hear about it but it IS witchcraft, 100% witchcraft and is not good. Leave it alone if you can as you will be better of not exposing yourself or your kids (if you have any) to this.

    You can try your local library.
    Or I'd suggest the paperpacks (they're lighter thus easier to transport) they're only $3 at wally world I think if you start with the first one and work your way up it gives you time in between to save up some change from under your sofa cushions :)
    Try HPANA - Harry Potter News and Rumors - Book 7, Movie 5 and More, the harry potter lexicon, or veriteserium.com (not sure if that's spelled right) they may have some links for stuff like that or Google it that may come up with some stuff. The problem is the publishers keep the book in chains almost so it's hard to find it online unless you just want spoilers.
    Another thing to do is download the text version on to your computer from wal mart.com or I tunes. I think it's cheeper than buying the book but I'm not sure.
    They really are good books (and prior to the belief of many who have not read them they have no references to the wiccan or other pagan religons they even celebrate christmas). They got me in to reading a lot and the movies aren't half bad either (they're on disney and fox family all the time if you want to watch them for free).
    Good Luck with finding the books online though, hope you enjoy them.

    Oh Puhleeze! The Potter books are FANTASIES. Kids can distinguish between reality and fantasy at a pretty early age. I really can't imagine anyone being corrupted by the Potter books.

    Any website that allows you to download or even read the boosk would be illegal. It would violate the copyright on the books. Try your local library. Mine currently has Deathly Hallows available for loan.

    Why don't you try reading this article from a man who knows what he is talking about

    Harry Potter: What Does God Have To Say

    Then tell me that they are fantasy !

    You're kidding, right? You actually believe that claptrap. There are so many things that are wrong with that alleged Pastor said. I'm not even going to bother debunking a lot of it. You need to do some better research. Just the fact that you actually believe in witchcraft and that people can cast spells and the like shows you need to get serious.

    Right... and putting the pastor crap on here wasn't saying anything religious based?
    Sounds like you need to "sort out your priorities" :)
    I love it when people insist they know everything G-d wants us to do just because they're arrogant and insist on wreaking havock on other peoples fun.
    I'm curious if he's ever had a long conversation about Harry Potter with you? For all you know he's read the books too and likes them (yes I know what the bible and the torah and everything else says about magic I'm not stupid but times change what makes you think that G-d isn't more human like than we think... no one knows that's the beauty of his power).

    Thanks for your opinion but next time keep it to yourself. The person just wanted to know where to find the books online if possible, they didn't ask for a lecture on there religious preference. I'm sure they were aware ahead of time of the fate that awaits there souls if they were to read the books of the devil :)

    Oh and your article said ""Azkaban", "Circe", "Draco", "Erised", "Hermes", and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. These are not characters of fiction!" Actually they're mostly latin... Draco means snake if I remember right and it was known as a constellation before it was a demon.

    As mentioned, your local public library is a great resource for books.

    I go there almost every two to three weeks and get great stuff that id never have access to if I had to buy.

    Seriously, go to your library.

    Yeah the library is the place to go, but if you like that sort of book (rubbish) read the wind singer by william nicholson

    No just the one, I don't have time to read for fun anymore since I've started college :-(

    So... we shouldn't read books about vampires, werewolves, etc? c'mon guys... be serious. It's not like your kids are going to start practicing witchcraft. If you're worried about that, you should have the kids stop watching power rangers as well in case your kids start beating up the "goons" in the neighborhood. Kids that can actually read the books (middle school and above) know what the deal is... and they know it's all fiction.

    My brother and I both read it... and once, we DID do a spell to see if my car would turn into the new lambo, but it didn't work... so I guess we straightened up.

    My daughter is 6 and still believes in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Just because they are not real does that mean I should crush her innocents and tell her that they are fake and not real?

    While we're at it, magnetic levitation is rarely due to the Meissner effect, in the higher critical temperature type 2 superconductors it is actually due to magnetic pinning, where the magentic flux is trapped in normal-conductor vortices in the superconductor. In order to see the Meissner effect you have to lower a superconductor to a few kelvin i.e. well below liquid nitrogen temperatures.

    IT IS TIME THAT THESE FRIVOLOUS CHILDHOOD FANTASIES WERE CRUSHED.

    First off: Er... I'd love to say that I agree with that, but I don't.
    Second: I have to ask what in the world are you describing (I know the ability to levitate using magnets but come on, normal people don't think like that!)??
