Names: Harry Potter
Ron And Hermione Or Harry And Hermione?
J. K. Rowling, having gained perspective in the intervening seven years since the final Harry Potter book released, thinks she made a mistake.

What Makes Fantasy Work? Part 1
Readers love Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and they love a handful of later fantasies. But a lot of stories donât go viral, donât get hundreds of reviews, and in fact get tepid responses. So what makes fantasy work?

Holidays And Celebrations
J. K. Rowling was not alone in making use of this-world holidays. C. S. Lewis created a powerful, and Christian, message in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by referencing the fact that Narnia suffered under a never-ending winter–always winter and never Christmas.

Reading Is Worship 8: Source Of All Stories
Scripture is the source of all stories â the story of reality, the smaller âstoriesâ of us as real people, and the stories we subcreate. We must recall that truth when weâre discussing how our stories glorify God.

Shallow Reasons To Support âNarniaâ 1
Flawed, over-âspiritualâ defenses of the âNarniaâ series are not only annoying, but ignore the storiesâs central beauties and childlike wonder. Even worse, such approaches ultimately make readers worship God less.

The Spiritual Villain
Bane vs. The Joker: in stories, the scariest villains are not the ones who kill the most, leer the most, or have the worst weapons. Instead the scariest villains have spiritual impact on the main characters, or we as readers and viewers.

Stepping Stones & One Angry Lady
We canâand oftentimes shouldâexamine speculative fiction ourselves. We should consider the good and the bad they offer. We should consider the lessons they teach and the journeys they take the reader on. And whatever our prayerful conclusions, we must acknowledge that the printed word is always a perfect springboard for discussion.

Must Good Characters Be Likeable?
For a good story, must its central character be likeable, or only sympathetic? For Christian stories, that dilemma is more pronounced, because many authors focus on sympathetic non-Christians, rather than more-likeable Christian characters.

Sex In The Story 6: Heroes and Heroines
Amidst belching sitcom dads, raging feminists, over-angsty teen-boy âchosen ones,â or inhuman âwarrior princesses,â we find God-glorifying men and women in many stories. Here are a few.

Sex In The Story 5: More Male Mythologies
We may always have sex caricatures in stories, and they may balance each other out. But how do we cure stock males, gender-neutrals, bad boys, men-children, faith-based supermen, and Prophesied Heroes�

The Making Of A Myth, Part 5 – The Use Of Primary Colors
I wonder what J. R. R. Tolkien would think about Harry Potter. Or Twilight. Or dystopian fantasies like Veronica Roth’s
Divergent
. Would the author of “On Fairy-Stories” be a fan of the darker forms fantasy has taken in the last decade or so?

Imagination: For Godâs Glory and Othersâ Good, Part 4
Does the Bible support reading or even enjoying secular imaginations with pagan elements? One doesnât even need to answer that. After all, Scripture tells of one man who delved into far worse material â and with help from God Himself.

Writing and World-building Bit By Bit
A finished novel, especially if itâs published, lends credibility and worth to the entire plodding process. But in the middle of the process, especially if the novel isnât guaranteed fame or publication â isnât it difficult to see the point?

Casting The âRiddikulusâ Spell On Halloween
About Halloween or similar things, discerning Christians should have right fear about real evils. But we can also laugh at the Devil’s exaggerated “Boggarts” and shadows from which Christ has set us free.
