Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A bit of background on my part. I already love Harry. I didn't think I needed a guide for my family, but I have many friends who are convinced the stories are a slippery slope to evil. I was hoping this book would give me some helpful hints to discussing Potter with folks like this.
What I really loved about this book is that it is a common sense approach, not only to Harry Potter, but to family-life in general. Ms. Brown encourages reading together as a family, and discussing themes and whether or not they are appropriate for your family. She reminds us, it is our job as parents to set rules and guidelines for our children in what they watch and what they read. Certainly, as she walks you through her own path to discovering HP, you come to understand why Potter is a worthy work for families to read together.
Her book offers discussion questions, connections to literary history and real, honest-to-goodness thoughts about why Harry is an important phenomenon. Her guide cuts through the rhetoric and hyperbole associated with those who have frequently dismissed the books. It is a clear, concise, non-confrontational book about what I knew to be true when I began reading HP.
Harry Potter is a morality tale. It is about how love triumphs over everything in the end. The Mystery of HP takes everything and makes you see how it works together. The book hits all right points, offers great questions to think about and makes me want to go back and re-read books 1 through 6 before #7 comes out this month (and maybe even some Chesterton too). Even if you've never questioned whether Harry Potter is appropriate for your family, if you don't feel the need for a "guide", this book is worth reading. She provides a reminder and an analysis of all that is good and true in the Potter series.
