What happens if a single book convenes a

group of ten Harry Potter experts?

You’ll obtain a kaleidoscope: ten different

colours and tastes, mingled according to

an uncommon (and unpublished) formula:

an anthology of short essays.

Like Harry’s jelly beans, these essays will

tickle every palate: an outlook from the

dark Shadows of the saga to the power of

mother figures, from the investigation on

the alchemic secrets to the naturalistic

approach, from the presence of different

kinds of humour to the comparison of the

world’s books covers, to family and

friendship patterns, and much more.

Fifteen years after the first Harry Potter book

was published and after many essays and

studies, is it still possible to write something

new about the saga?

Surely it is, due to its richness.

Though Harry Potter has already been studied

from the philosophical and scientific point of

view and as a literary, cinematographic and

media phenomenon, this is the first book that

analyses the supernatural material of the saga,

its historical, anthropological, folkloric,

mythological and metaphysical matrix.

What symbology may be hidden

behind the Triwizard Tournament?

What kind of lawsuits the little wizard

has faced, once launched into the

Muggle world?

But, most of all, what made Harry

Potter the current most popular saga in

the world? A great concept? The

skillful suggestion of archetypal

themes, well rooted into mythology,

fairy tales and our unconscious? Or

maybe a big dream, whose roots are

deep seated into J.K.Rowling’s

childhood, which managed to stay

uncorrupted in spite of the physical

before success knocked at the door?
