DESCRIPTION

J K Rowling's Harry Potter series is uncontested as the greatest children's book phenomenon of all time. The films that followed have served to widen the appeal even further.

Christians have been notoriously divided over Harry. Some have denounced the stories as a dangerously attractive introduction to the world of the occult. Others welcome their celebration of love over evil, to say nothing of their literary success in a world that many feared had given up on books altogether.

John Houghton looks at 'the Harry Potter effect', both in the wider culture and in the Christian community. His considered critique offers timely and valuable insight for fans and detractors alike, as well as parents, teachers and all those who work with children.
