Book Description: The Harry Potter books
have become ubiquitous early texts for children, and are also a popular choice for many
adults. Potter-mania has expanded to become a significant cultural phenomenon complete
with a feature film and a wide range of paraphernalia. However, there has been little
critical attention devoted to these books and the cultural phenomenon surrounding them.
Containing powerful, thought-provoking literary themes as well as portrayals of social and
cultural normalcy, the Potter books cumulatively serve as a powerful form of social text
and deserve serious critical attention. Elizabeth Heilman brings together scholars from
various disciplines to provide literary, cultural, sociological, and psychological
examinations of the Harry Potter books as both cultural product and social text.
Covering many facets of the Harry Potter series and Potter-mania, this collection begins
with a cultural analysis of marketing hype and product spin-offs. Literary and
interpretive perspectives consider Harry as a romantic hero and review the books for their
capacity to contain elements of every genre. Critical and sociological theorists explore
how the Potter books present gender, race, class, school, family and citizenship. By
providing numerous perspectives on the Harry Potter series, the contributors provide
teachers, administrators, critical theorists and those interested in cultural studies with
a variety of ways to read these popular texts.
This book is part of a series of guides to contemporary novels. Gives readers and
educators accessible and informative introductions to some of the most influential novels
of recent years. A team of contemporary fiction scholars from both sides of the Atlantic
provides a thorough and readable analysis. Learn more...
(Review from Amazon.com) Anyone who has read the Harry Potter books is
aware that author J.K. Rowling infuses her stories with references to mythology,
literature, history, and legends. Even if you don't know exactly what a manticore or a
griffin is, it's likely that many readers have at least a vague sense of the existence of
these creatures in ancient lore. Inspired by Rowling's suggestion to a young fan to "go
and look it up," author David Colbert did quite a bit of investigation
himself. The result is the fun, entertaining, and enlightening Magical Worlds of Harry
Potter.
From alchemy to hippogriffs to veela, Colbert explores the fascinating meanings between
the lines and buried within the names of characters and places in all the Harry Potter
books. Chapter headings include such intriguing questions as "Have Witches Always
Flown on Broomsticks?" "Why Would Chocolate Help After Escaping a
Dementor?" and "Are Any of the Famous Witches and Wizards Real?" A small
purple tab in the margin of the first page of each chapter guides readers looking for
specific subjects: Divination, Goblins, McGonogall, Owls, Voldemort, Wands, etc. Curious
readers will learn the link between Hagrid's pet dog, Fluffy, and the mythological Greek
sentry to Hades, Cerberus. And they'll get a taste of scholar Joseph Campbell's theories
on heroism, with Harry as the hero, of course.
The true magic of this book is that it will surely inspire Harry Potter fans to delve
deeper into the various areas it explores. Readers will soon be clamoring for collections
of Greek, Japanese, Indian, and Egyptian mythology, as well as copies of The Sword in
the Stone, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Canterbury Tales, and Treasure Island
to discover the sources of their favorite Harry Potter books. (All ages) --Emilie
