A philosophical exploration of the entire seven-book Harry Potter series

Harry Potter has been heralded as one of the most popular book series of all time and the philosophical nature of Harry, Hermione, and Ron's quest to rid the world of its ultimate evil is one of the many things that make this series special. The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy covers all seven titles in J.K. Rowling's groundbreaking series and takes fans back to Godric's Hollow to discuss life after death, to consider what moral reasoning drove Harry to choose death, and to debate whether Sirius Black is a man or a dog.

With publication timed to coincide with the release of the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1), this book will be the definitive guide for all fans looking to appreciate the series on a deeper level.

  • Covers a range of intriguing topics such as the redemption of Severus Snape, the power of love, and destiny in the wizarding world
  • Gives you a new perspective on Harry Potter characters, plot lines, and themes
  • Makes a perfect companion to the Harry Potter books and movies

Packed with interesting ideas and insights, The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy is an ideal companion for anyone interested in unraveling the subtext and exploring the greater issues at work in the story.

    A very good book!

    "The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy" is the second volume of the two "Harry Potter and Philosophy"-books and is a really good, amusing and thought-provoking book about the whole Harry Potter-series (all seven books, unlike volume 1 which just treats the first 5 books). It is well-written and easy to understand, also for those who have no background in philosophy, and is a pleasure to read. The book explains philosophical principles, problems and theories with the aid of the Harry Potter-story and characters and shows how the storyline is actually pervaded by philosophical and ethical questions the characters are faced with in the course of the books. All in all, a book that any fan of Harry Potter who is also interested in philosophy will like. Just allow plenty of time when you start reading because you won´t want to put the book down!
