Description
"This political analysis of Harry Potter uses the beloved wizarding world to introduce readers to the equally murky and intimidating world of the political. Readers may be surprised to discover that in fact J.K. Rowling's work provides us with entries into all of the most important political questions in history - from current controversies about terrorism and human rights, to the classic foundations of political thought"--Tags

Read this for a class. It was interesting enough that I could get through it, but wouldn't recommend it for just your average Harry Potter fan.
