I liked the films. The idea of good vs evil is not unique to Christianity but it certainly plays a part in Christianity. Harry's "patronis" is a stag and the stag was a middle ages symbol for Christ. I think that the author of the Harry Potter books knew this. There are many christian connections in the books. So why not have an Orthodox priest write an Orthodox slant into his play with Harry Potter as the main protagonist? It seems a good thing to claim everything for Christ.
