The Politics of Harry Potter

Potter's wizarding world is used to investigate the equally murky and intimidating world of politics. This title is set to publish near the time of the release of the 6th movie in the series. With perhaps one of the most devoted fan base of any previous book series, the Harry Potter phenomenon supports a wide variety of books related to the series. Aside from an edited collection on the implications of the "Harry Potter" series for international relations theory, this would be the first book exploring the lessons for politics inherent in the series. This political analysis of Harry Potter uses the beloved wizarding world to introduce readers to the equally murky and intimidating world of politics. Rowling's work provides us with entries into all of the most important political questions in history, from terrorism and human rights to the classic foundations of political thought.
