Handbooks, guides, and articles on the Harry Potter books have been produced,
but there is as yet no sustained discussion of the series as a literary work.
Shira Wolosky shows here that the Harry Potter books take part in a rich
literary tradition, including allegorical double meanings, mirror images among
characters, psychological explorations of family dynamics, political and social
critique, and complex moral questions. This book draws readers into deeper
meanings of Harry Potter, arguing that the books launch and pursue interpretive
quests in an ongoing effort to understand patterns and their attendant meanings,
implications, and consequences.
