The Harry Potter phenomenon created a surge in reading with a
lasting effect on all areas of culture, especially education.
Today, teachers across the world are harnessing the power of the
series, using it to reach out to students young and old as a
gateway to more challenging literature. In fact, Rowling's books
can educate with a scope far beyond English classes. They've been
used to teach history, gender studies, chemistry, religion,
philosophy, sociology, architecture, Latin, medieval studies,
astronomy, SAT skills, and much more. Teachers of younger students
use Harry and Hermione to encourage kids with disabilities or show
girls the power of being brainy scientists. Enterprising
instructors have their students harness the power of the new
internet age by reading fanfiction, splicing video clips, or
exploring Rowling's new website, Pottermore. With new scholarship,
new academic conferences, and new Potter material appearing each
day, one thing is certain--this series is far from over.
