Editorial Reviews

Book Description:

From plot summaries to refresh your memory (Do you remember which book introduces the character of Luna Lovegood?) to a delightful glossary of characters, places, spells and special objects (Do you know what the spell aparecium does?), this book by Colin Duriez is an excellent companion to the Harry Potter books.

With loads of quotes from interviews, you’ll learn all about J. K. Rowling’s life and her literary influences. Chapters on the spirituality of Potter explore the question of how Rowling’s faith is reflected in the stories, what she believes about witchcraft and how the stories fit with Christian tradition.

Customer Reviews

Harry Potter finally receives well-deserved literary respect! by Connie Neal
“How refreshing to finally see the Harry Potter books be given the respect they have deserved all along from Christian writers and publishers! The Field Guide to Harry Potter puts the monumental works of J.K. Rowling in the literary context of great Christian writers of the past - which is where they belong. Besides all this, it was a delight to read. Those who are bereaved of reading the Harry Potter books after the seventh now have a field guide not only to Rowling’s works but to the rich historic tapestry of similar literature into which it has been woven and from which many of its varied threads were gathered.”
