HP Encouraging the True Rebellion?

Here's an interesting tidbit from an interview by Again Magazine of John Granger on Harry Potter:

AGAIN: Why do you think many Christian reviewers are so critical of the characters in the books breaking Hogwarts school rules and apparently getting away with it?

JG: Great question! I wrote this note recently to a reader with this exact concern:

"About the books honoring and encouraging rebellion: two quick notes. First, everyone and everything against which the terrible trio resist and struggle is an authority that is unjust and out of control. Rowling is a satirist of the first rank, I think, and she isn't pulling any punches in the books in her critique of government, the courts, the media, institutional schooling, organized sports, everything oddly enough except religion. I think you are right that she is encouraging children to see the evil evident in the world and its ‘authorities’. . . . If you want to read a popular children's book where this ‘resistance to authority’ is done dangerously, read Philip Pullman's Dark Materials books in which it is the church that is wicked. . . . We can be grateful that the rebellions [in Harry Potter] are against the world and not the church and that they are always sacrificial rebellions and from love.”

And another:
AGAIN: What kinds of behavior from Harry and the other characters provide good examples or role models?

JG: One of the reasons that I do not fear the growth of the occult consequent to fascination with Potter witchcraft is that the good characters struggle with their weaknesses and temptations to do the wrong thing. They usually do the right thing and feel bad if they fail in this, but the bad guys do the wrong thing without internal struggle. What defines the good guys is their being three-dimensional, fallen people who long for and reach, for the most part, a greater good. Harry and his friends are sometimes courageous, sometimes slothful and misbehaving, and still at every book climax Harry is resisting evil at the risk of his life. I think the exemplary behavior our children will learn from these books is from reading about the internal conflicts characters experience and how they long for what is good ultimately rather than what is easy, safe, or superficially and individually advantageous.
