It’s the Best Place for Him: Harry Potter and the Magical Uses of Space

Philosophers and psychologists have explored the Harry Potter stories through the lenses of their disciplines, now it\u27s time for sociologists. In the twenty-two chapters of The Sociology of Harry Potter, social scientists from eight countries cast their imaginations on the wizarding world. From standard topics such as inequality and identity to more contemporary topics such as technology and trauma memory, this essay collection analyzes, not J. K. Rowling\u27s books as fiction, but her wizarding world as a real society.https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/cop-facbooks/1212/thumbnail.jp
