If anything else, Harry Potter teaches us about vulnerability and the virtue of trust.Īll these points boil down to Rowling’s God figure in the series Love. Harry’s relationship with his family and community is vital towards his maturity and identity as “the chosen one.” Never does Harry achieve anything alone but constantly receives help from others (especially Ron and Hermione). This could not be any farther from the truth. One of the most misleading advertisements is the famous poster of Harry and Voldermort fighting one-on-one. This act is theologically rich as it echoes the path of Jesus Christ but also points to the vocation of all Christians sacrificing ourselves for the love of others.įriendship (along with community/relationality to be more specific) is another great theme immersed throughout the series. Rather, Harry calims victory by giving up his own life in death for his friends (even uses a disarming spell in the process). The dark lord is not defeated by some glorious power struggle or trickery-the evil one is far too intelligent and strong. To provide context, one can look at Voldemort’s death. More recently, the Vatican newspaper praised the new film for promoting Christian values sacrifice and friendship. Edward’s University to name a few, offer courses in the religion department But HP’s reputation changed dramatically over the years. Several books have now been published on the series’ positive relationship with Christianity and now universities, such as Yale and St. Unfortunately, early publications brought much tension as several Christian groups labeled the series heretical and dangerous on the grounds of witchcraft.
But what does the Harry Potter series say to Christians? Is there something deeper beneath all this hocus pocus?ĭifferent from the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter is more ambiguous with its characters and symbols as Rowling identifies herself as a Christian but the books are written for an audience of seekers. Let’s face it, the world has Potter fever. Everyone gets something, but more importantly, kids continue to read. Loyal fans will also get more information on the HP world as Rowling plans to reveal new parts of the story. Viewers will be able to read all seven books online but Rowling is offering a unique “reading experience” beyond the typical e-book (also available exclusively on the Web site). Rowling recently announced the creation of an interactive website, called Pottermore, to launch by October 2011. It’s truly a marvelous delight for any HP lover.įor those unable to make the grand excursion to Florida, the internet is a fine alternative. The best of the best involves the Forbidden Journey where patrons get to tour the legendary Hogwarts castle. Many dreams come true as one can easily gulp down a tasty butterbeer at the local Hogsmeade bar, Three Broomsticks, or buy a bag of Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavor Beans at Honeydukes candy shop.
