 The fifth Harry Potter book is one of the two most boring, shallow books of the series (the sixth book being the other one). The cast and crew of the fifth movie try to liven things up a bit, but they can’t paper over the weakness of the story. Perhaps author J. K. Rowling probably should have stopped at four books (or at least 400 pages) and done another series of four Harry Potter books with a different storyline if she wanted to stay on the Harry Potter gravy train.
Even so, as shown by the number of copies sold, Harry Potter remains a phenomenon that’s still attracting millions of children. Thus, the movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is liable to still do great business at the box office. Regrettably, however, this means that even more children will be lured away from God and His Infallible Word, which says that witchcraft is evil and abhorrent. Instead of dreaming about the joys that God gives us through Jesus Christ, they will be dreaming of casting spells, using magic spells, riding brooms, and rebelling against their parents.

85% Admitted Abusing A new government study, yet to be published, indicates a strong link between viewing child pornography and perpetrating sexual abuse against children, The New York Times reported.The study, conducted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, found that 85 percent of those convicted of possessing explicit sexual images of children had also molested children. But the bureau is reluctant to release the study for public consumption.A Federal Bureau of Prisons official said that's because of concern the results might be misinterpreted."We believe it unwise to generalize from limited observations gained in treatment or in records review," a spokesman said, "to the broader population of persons who engage in such behavior." Ernie Allen, chief executive officer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said that answer doesn't satisfy him.

In an effort to quell soaring levels of childhood obesity, eleven food companies announced July 18 that they have decided voluntarily to limit advertising of “junk food” to children. Instead of applauding, ABC World News Tonight, USA Today and CBS Evening News attacked the companies for not doing even more – while failing to acknowledge that parents are ultimately responsible for controlling the diets of their children. Elizabeth Vargas on ABC World News Tonight piled on the companies almost immediately: “But as American children face an epidemic of obesity, will these changes really make a difference?” Parents Off the Hook on Childhood Obesity
