Title: Looking for God in Harry PotterAuthor: John Granger
Source: Border's
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
This book is one of my favorite pieces of meta. I'm a Christian attending/working at a Christian college, and a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. This book is interesting to read there - it's certainly a conversation starter.
Granger (no relation to the character by the same name) goes in depth looking at the Christian imagery and heritage of the Harry Potter books. The topics he writes on range from the imagery of alchemy to the choices one makes affecting one's life and one's walk with God. Granger's theology is sound, based directly on the Bible, and not necessarily on any one denomination or theologian.

Sounds interesting. I recently acquired "Looking for God in Lord of the Rings" but have not yet had a chance to read it. If I like that I'll pick this one up too.
