More on the Merits of Harry

By far, this is one of the best articles in the blogosphere, or anywhere else for that matter, that I have read about the merits -- literary and otherwise -- of the Harry Potter series.

Loved this article! Thanks for posting it Christine. I am embarrased to say that I hadn't made many of the connections to Christianity. I can say that as a Christian, I never felt anything blasphemous about the book. It is a story I am excited to read to my daughter as she gets older (and can handle dementors). I look forward to using the series to discuss relevant topics such as good vs. evil, racism (mud-bloods), the idea that you create who you are through choices you make, etc.
Can you tell that I love this series?
