The Harry Potter Series "I will most likely stay up far into the night devouring this fourth episode of Harry's adventures. And then, come Sunday morning, I will go to church. There are some Christians who view these two activities as a contradiction--who think that Hogwarts is worse than hogwash, and that the magical scenarios of J.K. Rowling's imagination are inherently un-Christian. I would counter that, instead, these books have the potential to be profoundly Christian if readers can see past the medium (magic) to the novels' deeper messages about self-sacrifice, the triumph of good over evil, and the glorious possibility of human redemption." --Jana K. Riess Beliefnet, July 2000). Also of interest: Beliefnet, July 2000 JK Rowling Official Website Scholastic (Publisher) Website JK Rowling On The Web  Harry Potter

NY
Times Review
Book seven. The final book in J.K. Rowling's magical Harry Potter series. A spectacular finish to a phenomenal series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a bittersweet read for fans. The journey is hard, filled with events both tragic and triumphant, the battlefield littered with the bodies of the dearest and despised, but the final chapter is as brilliant and blinding as a phoenix's flame, and fans and skeptics alike will emerge from the confines of the story with full but heavy hearts, giddy and grateful for the experience. -- Daphne Durham - Amazon.com .

The Ultimate Harry Potter
 Sky
Bounceby Deanna Miller / May 2003 / Paperback Winner of the Religion
Communicators Council's 2004 Wilbur Award for
fiction. "This is a well paced, well written
fantasy with religious/spiritual overtones. It
explores the nature of friendship, loyalty, trust
and faith. The messages the author wishes to
convey, however, appear incidental to the story and
thus become a seamless part of the whole". --
