The Wisdom of Harry Potter: What Our Favorite Hero Teaches Us about Moral Choices Paperback - 2003

by Edmund M. Kern

In this original interpretation of the Harry Potter sensation, Kern argues that the attraction of these stories to children comes not only from the fantastical elements embedded in the plots, but also from their underlying moral messages.

From the publisher

Edmund M. Kern (Appleton, WI) is associate professor of history at Lawrence University.
