I recently finished a up a new lens. Actually, it’s very low key, and I got the idea when I was randomly surfing the web on Harry Potter. I came across the Hogwarts Professor, who turns out has written many books about the deeper meaning of the Harry Potter stories. More specifically, many Christians had objections to the wizards and witches portrayed in the books and felt there was a lot of anti-Christian imagery and notions. John Granger was at first skeptical about the books, too. However, after reading them, he discovered quite the opposite: there are actually Christian messages in the books!
I am not Christian, and my interest in John Granger is really in trying to understand a different perspective of Harry Potter. It’s really more like what Harry Potter can be beyond just a children’s book. John Granger now lectures all over and also maintains his own blog. You can find all this and a few of his recently published books on my lens about John Granger.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!
