A philosophical exploration of the entire seven-book Harry Potter series.

Harry Potter has been heralded as one of the most popular book series of all time, and the philosophical nature of Harry, Hermione, and Ron's quest to rid the world of its ultimate evil is one of the many things that make this series special. The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy covers all seven titles in J.K. Rowling's groundbreaking series and takes fans back to Godric's Hollow to discuss life after death, to consider what moral reasoning drove Harry to choose death, and to debate whether Sirius Black is a man or a dog. This book will be the definitive guide for all fans looking to appreciate the series on a deeper level.

Packed with interesting ideas and insights, The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy is an ideal companion for anyone interested in unraveling the subtext and exploring the greater issues at work in the story.

I really enjoyed this. It both gave me a feeling of excitement in remembering my favorite things about the Harry Potter series and made me think of the impact it had on myself and, likely, on the wider world.

I also enjoyed the feeling of having a conversation about a story and characters that I genuinely love and feel connected to. Thank you!

Very Intriguing

I couldn’t Get through half of the second chapter. The reader’s tone and voice inflections sound like a computer generated voice. It makes it very hard to follow along and to maintain interest. Would love to hear the rest of it if there is a different reader available.

Reader Sounds Like a Computer Generated Voice.
