    THE Vatican's chief exorcist yesterday claimed the Harry Potter stories could lead children into Satanism.

    Father Gabriele Amorth said: "You start off with Harry Potter, who comes across as a likeable wizard, but you end up with the Devil.

    "There is no doubt that the signature of the Prince of Darkness is clearly within these books."

    Father Amorth, 80, who has carried out more than 3000 exorcisms since 1986, said: "By reading Harry Potter a young child will be drawn into magic and from there it is a simple step to Satanism and the Devil."

    The series of books, whose popularity with children has made millions for author JK Rowling, has already been criticised by Pope Benedict XVI.

    Three years ago, before becoming Pope, he said the character was a bad influence because the stories contained "seductions which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly".

    How ironic, considering that the late Pope John Paul II honored Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling by describing her as "Christian by conviction... Christian in her mode of living, even in her way of writing". A Vatican spokesman even said Pope John Paul II approved of the Harry Potter books, saying, "They help children to tell the difference between good and evil."

    The John Paul-era Vatican clearly saw the Harry Potter books as nothing more than children's fiction. The current leadership is, sad to say, not as enlightened.
