'Wicked: For Good' - a Christian's review

On the day of its release, Friday 21 November, I went to see Wicked: For Good, with my sister, at our local cinema. The film got me thinking about, well, wickedness (amongst other things).

First off, let's get one thing clear: the Bible condemns witchcraft. And so we come to the seemingly age-old debate of whether Christians "should" watch Harry Potter - or, in this case, Wicked. That's not what I'm discussing in this piece.

Wicked: For Good is the second in a pair of films, the first was released this time last year. If you're a rookie, let me fill you in.
