Reading Harry Potter Again: New Critical Essays extends the
discussion of the Harry Potter books by covering the entire series
in one new and comprehensive volume. As was argued in Reading Harry
Potter: Critical Essays (Praeger, 2003), interpreting the
underlying messages and themes of the Harry Potter series is vital
for understanding the ways in which we perceive and interact with
each other in contemporary society. The novels and corresponding
film adaptations have broken records with their astonishing sales
and widespread acclaim. They have also generated a plethora of
writing—by critics, academics, and fans. J.K. Rowling's Harry
Potter books could easily be called this generation's most
formative narratives, and thus certainly warrant critical
attention. This new volume of essays covers the entire seven-book
sequence. Contributors consider myriad themes from a variety of
perspectives. Areas addressed include religion, morality, race,
magic, and other themes popular in discussing the books. With this
book in hand, fans of the series—indeed anyone interested in the
Harry Potter phenomenon—will better appreciate and understand
Rowling's work and the impact of her stories on our culture and on
our times.
