The Hidden Key To Harry Potter : Understanding The Meaning, Genius, And Popularity Of Joanne Rowling’s Harry Potter Novels

Attribution
John Granger
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Zossima Press, 2002
Description
What you need to know about The Hidden Key to Harry Potter: 1) It is the first critical study to unlock the inner meaning of Harry Potter by treating the series seriously as literature along the lines of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. Rowling, demonized by some Christian critics because of the magical setting of her books, is ironically writing the most charming and challenging Christian fiction for children since Lewis? The Hidden Key demonstrates that all the Potter books teach Christian doctrines - sometimes with subtlety, often baldly - in their plot, imagery, and character development.
