| Unlocking
Harry Potter offers the
serious reader five keys
to open the text of the
best selling books and reveal
why they are so popular.
Ranging from the familiar
Heros Journey to the esoteric
symbols of Literary Alchemy
in Harry Potter, Unlocking
is a delightful explanation
and exploration of the qualities
in Ms. Rowling's work that
resonate with the spirit
of our times and those that
transcend it. The five keys
Granger discusses are narrative
misdirection , how the point-of-view
shapes our understanding
(and mis-understanding)
of what happens, literary
alchemy, the historical
language of personal transformation,
postmodern themes, how Ms.
Rowling is writing the epic
of our politically correct
times, hero's journey, the
repeated elements that give
each book its structure
and narrative drive, and
traditional symbolism, the
iconographic use of images
and events to transcend
the world in story. No serious
fan of Harry Potter, no
serious reader of great
fiction, will want to miss
the Hogwarts Professor's
unlocking of Ms. Rowling's
wonderful stories. |
