She uses the lion as a visual metaphor for sin‚ and tells everyone that the “devil goes after the young.” Becky Fisher also makes many interesting claims‚ which I do not believe in. For instance she says that Harry Potter would be put to death in the old world. This is because “Warlocks are enemies of God.” Fisher then goes on to lead a sermon that sounds like
