In today’s (22 December 2005) TODAY was a book review of The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set by Vinita Ramani.  At one point in the review, the reviewer says :

The second issue concerns Lewis’ Christian symbolism.  In a world relegated to a perpetual winter without Christmas, Aslan is like a "resurrected" Christ figure, revealing to the Pevensie siblings that they are the "true sons and daughters" of Adam and Eve.

The weighty religious allusions can ruin the experience of reading Lewis, just as much as it is narrow-minded to read dubious dark pagan ritual or "witchcraft" into the Harry Potter series.

I find the above critique duplicitous.

On the one hand, the reviewer says that it is narrow-minded to read too much into Harry Potter and to see in it "dark pagan ritual or witchcraft". 

On the other hand, the reviewer observes that there are "weighty religious allusions" present in the book(s) that he opines "can ruin the [reading] experience", and leaves it at that.  The reviewer doesn’t quite say that it is narrow-minded to read the book(s) in this manner.

In my opinion, the Chronicles of Narnia, like Harry Potter series, may simply be enjoyed as a fantasy without reading more into it.  Is it not, then, equally narrow-minded of one to read "weighty religious allusions" into the book(s), which may simply be enjoyed as a fantasy if one chooses to ?  Should not the reviewer have written, instead, that :

Just as it is narrow-minded to read dubious dark pagan ritual or "witchcraft" into the Harry Potter series, it is narrow-minded to ruin the experience of reading Lewis by reading weighty religious allusions into the Chronicles of Narnia ?
