   It makes no difference to the Subject of this thread whether we are   
   considering the books or the movies. I quote myself once again: "Once   
   you remove Rowling's Christianity, and her admitted use of it in   
   delivering the HP books, then you are allowed any conjecture   
   whatsoever as you have here".   
      
   "Again, this is the fundamental difference in our approaches. I stand   
   by mine since it is prescribed and subscribed by the author herself."   
      
   IOW, there is no value in rehashing either your position on this or   
   mine or any discussions that accrue from them.

   I clearly stated that "I saw nothing that would indicate that she was   
   Jewish."

   All religious beliefs would be important to this discussion regarding   
   Rowling, the Gringotts as Jews and similar topics.   
      
   We are standing on two sides of different tables.
