Mitología de Harry Potter

The Harry Potter saga is full of universal references that J.K. Rowling has distilled history, myths and legends, as well as works by classic literary authors, to inspire and enrich her work. Fabulous beings like dragons, elves, goblins, witches, centaurs, unicorns, Merlin or Circe. Legends like that of the philosopher's stone, the gatekeeper or the Phoenix bird. Without forgetting magical objects: wands, flying brooms, crystal balls, tarot cards... In this way, the author of the saga has imbibed from real and imaginary worlds, covering her journey from ancient Egypt, Greece or Rome, passing through China or Japan, reaching the temple of Solomon. Taking advantage of the fact that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first volume of the saga, Harry Potter Mythology analyzes all these universal ingredients that give magic and credibility to one of the most successful works of recent times.
