Harry Potter has given the critical study of popular culture quite
an extraordinary platform for exploring the nature of human
identity across cultures and around the world. Potter Studies is
rapidly developing into a vibrant, interdisciplinary collection of
scholars from a wide range of university and non-university
environments. This intersection, between the multidisciplinary
study of identity and Harry Potter as a cultural artifact is where
this collected volume finds its home. Issues surrounding race,
class, gender, sexual orientation, and personal virtue, both in the
wizarding world and in our own real world, are introduced and
examined here. The ways in which these issues manifest in the
practices of fans, fandom cultures, and real-world schools and
businesses are also interrogated. Ultimately, this collection of
essays should provide an extensive and varied array of meanings,
contexts, and connections to and/or around identity issues for both
scholars and non-scholars who can see our world mirrored in that of
Harry Potter.
