Download or read book Harry Potter and the Other written by Sarah Park Dahlen and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a 2023 Honour Book by the International Research Society for Children's Literature Contributions by Christina M. Chica, Kathryn Coto, Sarah Park Dahlen, Preethi Gorecki, Tolonda Henderson, Marcia Hernandez, Jackie C. Horne, Susan E. Howard, Peter C. Kunze, Florence Maätita, Sridevi Rao, Kallie Schell, Jennifer Patrice Sims, Paul Spickard, Lily Anne Welty Tamai, Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, Jasmine Wade, Karin E. Westman, and Charles D. Wilson Race matters in the fictional Wizarding World of the Harry Potter series as much as it does in the real world. As J. K. Rowling continues to reveal details about the world she created, a growing number of fans, scholars, readers, and publics are conflicted and concerned about how the original Wizarding World—quintessentially white and British—depicts diverse and multicultural identities, social subjectivities, and communities. Harry Potter and the Other: Race, Justice, and Difference in the Wizarding World is a timely anthology that examines, interrogates, and critiques representations of race and difference across various Harry Potter media, including books, films, and official websites, as well as online forums and the classroom. As the contributors to this volume demonstrate, a deeper reading of the series reveals multiple ruptures in popular understandings of the liberatory potential of the Potter series. Young people who are progressive, liberal, and empowered to question authority may have believed they were reading something radical as children and young teens, but increasingly they have raised alarms about the series’ depiction of peoples of color, cultural appropriation in worldbuilding, and the author’s antitrans statements in the media. Included essays examine the failed wizarding justice system, the counterproductive portrayal of Nagini as an Asian woman, the liberation of Dobby the elf, and more, adding meaningful contributions to existing scholarship on the Harry Potter series. As we approach the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Other provides a smorgasbord of insights into the way that race and difference have shaped this story, its world, its author, and the generations who have come of age during the era of the Wizarding World.

He can't stop the transformation that ravages him, slowly turning him into an elf. He has been on his own and completely independent since his emancipation at sixteen. Losing control over his life and circumstances is something he avoids at all cost. But falling in love with an ageless elf makes all control go out the window. Especially when his body keeps doing strange things like changing eye color and growing pointed ears. Casersis has been alone on earth for millennia. Having a burgeoning elf around brings feelings he isn't comfortable with. But he can't let Dustin go. If the humans find out Dustin is an elf, Dustin would become a science experiment. The only option Casersis has is to keep Dustin captive. But keeping Dustin cooped up may backfire if Dustin keeps rebelling. If they want to be together, Casersis and Dustin must find a way to compromise. Love like theirs is once in a lifetime.

Download or read book Harry Potter and the Classical World written by Richard A. Spencer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.K. Rowling has drawn deeply from classical sources to inform and color her Harry Potter novels, with allusions ranging from the obvious to the obscure. "Fluffy," the vicious three-headed dog in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is clearly a repackaging of Cerberus, the hellhound of Greek and Roman mythology. But the significance of Rowling's quotation from Aeschylus at the front of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a matter of speculation. Her use of classical material is often presented with irony and humor. This extensive analysis of the Harry Potter series examines Rowling's wide range of allusion to classical characters and themes and her varied use of classical languages. Chapters discuss Harry and Narcissus, Dumbledore's many classical predecessors, Lord Voldemort's likeness to mythical figures, and magic in Harry Potter and classical antiquity--among many topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many pop culture texts, "monsters" can be read as metaphors for marginalized Others in U.S. culture.
