A Norwegian church that included the popular Harry Potter character as a theme in the worship service has raised some questions among Norwegian priests, reports said on Wednesday.
Priests and young members of the congregation in the 12th-century Berg church in Halden, south of Oslo, helped put together the service with the theme Harry Potter Meets Jesus.
The church was packed and many of the congregation had dressed up as characters in the Harry Potter films, newspaper Vart Land said.
Organist Michael Servant played theme music from the movies while the priest, vicar and many children walked in procession dressed in red and black gowns....
RV, those are some of the verses I quote to John Y. about Catholicism. I don't know if this was a Catholic or Lutheran Church--I couldn't activate the link to read the entire article--but this church, would be a good one to leave.

of what a church service shouldn't be, the one mentioned in the article sounds like another bad example of an errant church service.
RV's got the OT rebuke. Here's the NT rebuke: II Corinthians 6:14-18
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 10There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering,[5] anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11or a charmer or a medium or a wizard or a necromancer, 12for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. And because of these abominations the LORD your God is driving them out before you. Galatians 5:20-21 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy,[4] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 5For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. 6Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
