* FlatEarthAtheist: God answers prayers all the time in this story, doing stuff that very clearly can't have been done by humans, like teleporting people around, conjuring up food on a table or [[spoiler: altering someone's entire personality]].

** Harry himself, too. Within two minutes of meeting Hagrid, he's devoted his entire life to Christianity despite never even having heard of God or Jesus beforehand.


Added DiffLines:

* InstantExpert: Harry somehow knows the Bible inside-out from the moment he converts to Christianity, referencing a specific passage as the reason why he won't hold the Dursleys' treatment of him against them despite the fact that the narrative leaves absolutely no time in which he could have read it. He is also shown time and time again to be a far better Christian than anyone else in the story and clearly understanding the will of God perfectly, as demonstrated in [[spoiler: Harry and Draco's "pray-off".]]

In this version of the story, Harry, an orphan, is raised by his non-Christian aunt and uncle, or rather the babysitters they hired to look after him while they both worked, until one day when he is found by a Christian missionary named Hagrid. After Harry prays the Sinner's Prayer and rejects Evolutionism and birthdays, he is whisked off to Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles to learn how to be a Christian.

At Hogwarts, the students are divided up into four Sorting Hats, each of which believes differently about the Bible. The greatest threat to Hogwarts is Voldemort, who has been plotting with Congress to destroy freedom of religion.

First attempt at fleshing this out


Due to its controversial nature, this attempt of a Christian re-writing of "Harry Potter" (much shorter than the original) quickly gained fame. Many Christians do not agree with the very specific brand of Christianity that the fanfic allegedly wants to promote. Due to the very over-the-top writing, it has been long suspected to be a parody. The last chapter may be read as confirmation of this, but is open to interpretation.
