A delight to read. Those who are bereaved of reading the Harry Potter books after the seventh now have a 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. -Connie Neal, author of Wizards, Wardrobes and Wookiees and The Gospel According to Harry Potter --Connie Neal, author of Wizards, Wardrobes and Wookiees and The Gospel According to Harry Potter
Harry Potter fans mourning the end of the series now have good reason to cheer. In The Unauthorised Harry Potter Companion, Colin Duriez combines an encyclopedic knowledge of the Potterverse with a careful analysis of its thematic ingredients and position in the literary canon. Packed with invaluable lists, overviews and timelines, this book also delivers profound insights about the moral importance of J. K. Rowling's stories and the meaningful tradition that informs them. -Amy H. Sturgis, Ph.D., author of Past Watchful Dragons: Fantasy and Faith in the World of C. S. Lewis --Amy H. Sturgis, Ph.D., author of Past Watchful Dragons: Fantasy and Faith in the World of C. S. Lewis

This is another paragraph Product Description: Colin Duriez's book gives an integrated picture of the whole series, showing J.K. Rowling's worldview and spirituality, the themes and literary features of her books, and how she upholds the moral virtues and values championed by most classic children's authors, such as C.S. Lewis, while including values of inclusiveness and dealing with loss that are special to her and which speak clearly to the issues that concern us nowadays. There have been dozens of books on the Potter phenomenon, but 'The Unauthorised Harry Potter Companion' is the first to take the works seriously as modern classics and place them not only in the tradition of children's literature but in the broader tradition of western literature and the place of magic in our world view.
