Harry applied to 'Real World'
The essays in this text range in quality and depth - but overall the authors demonstrate how Rowling's saga elucidates ordinary human psychology, teaching/learning, and everyday experience. Harry isn't just for kids - his world is applicable to society. He's Huck Finn for the 21st century & the authors of this text explain how and why he is relevant to us all.
