Description
The essays in this collection assume that Rowling’s works should not be relegated to the categories of pulp fiction or children’s trends, which would deny their certain influence on the intellectual, emotional, and psychosocial development of today’s children. Following an introductory discussion of the Harry Potter phenomenon are essays considering the psychological and social-developmental experiences of children as mirrored in Rowling’s novels.
