Promotional materials invite \u201cfans and Hogwarts newcomers\u201d to gather for an evening \u201camong candles, light and darkness,\u201d using imagery drawn from the popular fantasy book series. <\/p>\n<p>Attendees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haranni.ekvw.de\/b\/harry-potter-gottesdienst-sa-28-februar-2026-17-uhr-kirche-herz-jesu-210907\">are encouraged<\/a> to wear themed costumes, though \u201cMuggle clothing is also permitted,\u201d and the church is described as the \u201cGreat Hall\u201d for the event.<\/p>\n<p>The plans have prompted a public campaign by Christk\u00f6nigtum, a conservative Catholic organization, which argues that incorporating \u201cmagical and occult motifs\u201d into a church constitutes a desecration of a space reserved for divine worship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur motivation is clear,\u201d said Kevin Mis of Christk\u00f6nigtum in a written response to EWTN News. \u201cWe do not tolerate God\u2019s houses being profaned by zeitgeist-driven, in this case explicitly occult and magical, events. This \u2018ecumenical Harry Potter service\u2019 must not take place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mis said more than 700 emails have been sent to church authorities through <a href=\"https:\/\/christkoenigtum.de\/harry-potter-gottesdienst-verhindern\/\">the group\u2019s website<\/a>. According to Christk\u00f6nigtum, the Archdiocese of Paderborn has confirmed receiving over 500 messages and has contacted the parish. Archbishop Udo Markus Bentz and senior diocesan officials have been informed, and an official statement is expected.<\/p>\n<p>In a written response, the Archdiocese of Paderborn defended the event as a pastoral initiative aimed at evangelization in an increasingly secular society. <\/p>\n<p>Spokeswoman Isabella Struck said: \u201cFamiliar images and stories from contemporary culture can help to open up initial approaches to the Christian faith and build bridges to the holy Scriptures. With this in mind, local pastoral workers are drawing on motifs from the well-known and popular Harry Potter series, which is an integral part of the lives of many young people \u2014 and adults too \u2014 for an ecumenical service of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized that literary works such as Harry Potter \u201care not sources of faith\u201d and do not replace Scripture, adding that \u201cthe measure, center, and goal\u201d of the service remain the word of God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sacred character of the service and the dignity of the church interior remain fully preserved,\u201d Struck said. \u201cAt the same time, it has been noted that some believers have expressed questions and concerns in connection with the announcement of the service. This feedback is being taken seriously and will be incorporated into the further planning and organization of the service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The parish organizers did not respond to press inquiries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Catholic parish in western Germany is facing criticism after advertising what it calls a \u201cHarry Potter ecumenical service\u201d to be held inside a church later this month, drawing criticism from Catholics who say the event trivializes sacred space and introduces occult imagery into worship.
