Harry Potter y la filosofía

Is love the most powerful magic of all? Why does Harry decide to die? Should we fear death or face it? What can Severus Snape teach us about the possibility of redemption? Harry Potter may seem like a simple children's story on the surface, but like Hogwarts, it's a universe full of hidden doors, hidden rooms, and disturbing secrets. With an army of philosophers behind him, Gregory Bassham has brought together in this book a set of excellent essays that dare to argue with the wizard with the scar, and with characters like Dumbledore, Sirius Black or Hermione, on love, evil , feminism, death, power, sacrifice or hope. Through the analysis of the seven volumes of J.K. Rowling, this book is the definitive guide for all fans who want to know the world of Harry Potter on a deeper level and for any reader or muggle who wants to explore the most surprising corners of the infinite cosmos that opens up behind platform 9 and ¾ .
