If Frodo is Christ (or something), it's hardly twisted. he's good and meek and does his duty.  If the Lion is Christ, well hes just and virtuous and strong (sorry, been a long time since I read Lewis). I mean, there is not much for a Christian to get up in arms about.  But I guarantee if I threw this story at my Catholic relatives, they'd think it much more evil than they think Harry Potter is. (which I've not read, though I expect my son will want me too in a few years. are they any good? I read a page and thought it dull language)

I give Rowling an A for imagination and a C for style.  Some would
call the C generous.
