Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
John Granger, a Christian, a teacher of classic literature, and a father of seven children, explores the surprising reasons J. K. Rowling's books are so popular and examines what the author believes are strong Christian themes throughout the Harry Potter books. Granger helps readers understand the classic literary devices used in the Potter books and contends that Rowling is writing in the tradition of Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Are they just a good read, or do they nourish the soul as well?

Very good analysis, exactly what I was looking for to use as a program for the youth at church

For all of the times you wished you had the Biblical information to back up your assertion that Harry Potter is NOT anti-Christian, THIS is the book you needed!! It is full of fascinating information - just what you need to defend your love of this series as fitting with Christian ideals and principles! Read it with a highlighter in hand... b/c you'll want to make notes! :)

As a Christian, I was dead set against all things 'Harry Potter' when the very first movies came out. Then my daughter, a literature teacher, put this marvelous book in my hands and said to hold judgement until I'd read it. I did so in just 2 days! Then I borrowed my granddaughter's books (4 at that time) and am now the resisdent 'authority' on Harry Potter where I work!
Finding God in Harry Potter draws back the curtain and allows the reader to not only experience a fantastic adventure, but to find many lessons, on friendship, loyalty, perseverence, dropping biases and prejudices.
God is to be found around every corner and this is the true 'magic' in the Harry Potter series. Finding God in Harry Potter will open the way for the reader to find the quiet, and sometimes not so quiet, references that any Christian looks for in fiction, so hop aboard the Hogwart's Express, settle in and enjoy Finding God in Harry Potter!

This book is one of my favorite pieces of meta. I'm a Christian attending/working at a Christian college, and a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. This book is interesting to read there - it's certainly a conversation starter.
Granger (no relation to the character by the same name) goes in depth looking at the Christian imagery and heritage of the Harry Potter books. The topics he writes on range from the imagery of alchemy to the choices one makes affecting one's life and one's walk with God. Granger's theology is sound, based directly on the Bible, and not necessarily on any one denomination or theologian.

Excellent discusion of the Potter series as it relates to western literature. The author's background knowledge is impressive and his credentials are impeccable. Well written too!
