Description
his book takes a look at the arc of the storyline in Harry Potter,
digging below the surface to explore ethical, mythological, and
religious meanings in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series. Why do we find
ourselves so intrigued with the tale of Harry Potter? Many of the
millions who passionately read the Harry Potter series found they could
relate to the details, dreams, and fears of Harry’s life. From a phoenix
that dies and rises again to Dumbledore, a character who appears in a
realm beyond death, there can be little doubt that Rowling’s story
delves into profound themes and ideas. She tackles issues of grief,
responsibility, individual excellence, and heroism in the face of
violence and corruption. This philosophical analysis shows that if, in
fact, we do find ourselves reflected in Harry’s story, then we may also
find that our destiny and individual potential resonates with his as
well.
