FiIRST TIME IN PRINT. This work examines the Christian themes of the Harry Potter series, and finds that the Potter characters are metaphors for the personalities of the Bible- Dumbledore, Voldemort, Harry, Ron and Hermione, Snape, and even the house elves. And, why does this matter? Use the Potter story to interest your child or seeking adult friend or relative to explore God and the Bible. A fun and contemplative discussion of the Potter books and themes, even if you're already a Christian believer.
