Blake's reading of Harry Potter concerning new labour politics is interesting but the book overall is outdated (my fault I know). The series was not even finished when he wrote this so I was probably expecting too much.
This book had the potential to be very interesting, and there are some interesting observations on how Harry Potter series reflects trends in wider British and US society. But overall it wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be, no earthshattering observations or analyses. I got it cheap as a remaindered book so I'm not too upset about having bought it.

Es una amena introducción a la obra del autor, que ilustra por qué fue elegido por el público mejor escritor británico del siglo XX.
