review 1: Like all of Blackwell's books, this one features really exceptional essays and essays that are not very good. I thought that each of the books I've read from this series has a tendency to focus on just one aspect or perspective of the books/shows they analyze. With Batman, it was the psychology of Bruce Wayne/Batman, in Star Wars, it was ethics. With Harry Potter, the emphasis was on the politics. Probably the least interesting focus they could choose. However, again, there were good moments and interesting insights, so it was definately worth reading.
review 2: The Ultimate Harry Potter Philosphy is a collection of essays that cover a wide range of topics involced in the Harry Potter series. A lot of the material has to do with the last three books, because th... moreey have the deepest rooted messages, but there are references to all books in the series. There were a lot of interesting viewpoints that I hadn't really considered. When I read (and adored) the series, I enjoyed it for the amazing plot and characters. I never really looked deeper at the underlying philosophical questions and statements that the book made. So this was an interesting read. I got a little bit bogged down in some parts by all of the philosophy-lingo, so if you're not into that, then, for obvious reasons, you probably shouldn't read this book. But I liked it :) Alsoooo, I kind of love that the author of one of the essays compared Lilly, Dumbledore and Harry to Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, Jesus and Socrates, because they were willing to die out of love for others and for their strong sense of morality. less
