Harry Potter goes to college
March 25, 2008 by Wendy Boswell
More and more colleges are embracing Harry Potter as part of their course offerings. For instance, Yale:
Danielle Tumminio, a Yale Divinity School graduate student and the instructor for Yale’s Harry Potter course “Christian Theology and Harry Potter,” said her academic background in literature and theology, combined with her personal interest in the books, inspired her to design the course.
The course uses all seven Potter books and the students examine Christian themes such as sin, evil and resurrection. – source
I would be very interested in taking a class similar to this; I think the themes in Harry Potter are universal to good literature. What about you?
Anything to do with Harry Potter..im there
Wow I am so excited to hear about this class!!! I’m an English Adjunct Instructor and would love to teach a class about the Harry Potter books. In fact I’d like to have a class that examines the book vs. the films…
In the meantime check out my blog:
