Edinburgh University offering a course on Harry Potter

I think this sounds like a very interesting class to take, don’t you?

Edinburgh University is launching a course on The Magic of Harry Potter, which explores the international phenomena that the Edinburgh writer’s creation has become.

Students will examine the religious controversy which has surrounded the young wizard ever since the publication of the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, in 1997.

The evening class will use the series as a "springboard" to discuss a variety of topics ranging from myth, magic, morality and spirituality, to philosophy and socio-political issues.
