Archbishop Pell and the Philosopher's Stone

So it is with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which the archbishop describes as a “great yarn” with a “good dose of moral truth”. Dr Pell observed that the book and film had been criticised in some areas for “giving respectability to witchcraft, to the occult world of good and bad magic”.
