Travis — thanks for that tip! I think my acquisitions librarian already placed the order though… And the title “Looking for God in Harry Potter” fit the angle of that book recommendation post quite nicely, and explicitly points to the faith aspects of the books. (Plus it’s the one of Granger’s books I’ve read…) However, I will make a point now to give “How Harry Cast His Spell” a read, and if I think the extra material needs to be made available (as I’m sure I will), I’ll just order up that one too at a later date.

Donna, that is just great. Thanks! Might I suggest, if you've not ordered Looking for God in Harry Potter yet, that you go with How Harry Cast His Spell instead? It's basically the same book, only updated with the material from the last book and given a new name.

I know the giveaway has ended, but I thought I’d mention that I blogged about the forthcoming book, plus 2 of John Granger’s books and one other book of HP commentary, at the blog for the college library where I work: http://wmlinfospot.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/great-reads-for-harry-potter-heads/
We don’t have any of the books I blogged about in our collection, but I am ordering them w/ my discretionary budget (so the students and faculty have access to them), so they will be in our collection later in the year.

Hello!
I just posted the pre-order link to Facebook and also e-mailed my friends who are Potterphiles.

That’s weird. My second comment posted by not my first. With the first, I mentioned how glad I am to still have an opportunity to win a copy of your book, Travis (especially since I was traveling the past few days and just got back!). I posted the link to your pre-order post on my blog: http://bookwormjournal.blogspot.com/2008/12/harry-potter-imagination.html

Forgive me if this posting comes through twice. Something seems glitchy…

Okay, I’m back (though I’m not yet seeing the comment I just submitted…perhaps there’s a lag time?) I just posted the link to your pre-order post, along with a brief comment, on Facebook as well.

Sorry I missed all the other give-aways while on thanksgiving travels, though truth be told, I think I needed the “media fast” of the past few days! (Good for the soul!)

Anyway, delighted I still have a chance to win your book, Travis, slim though the chance may be. I just posted about it on my blog and provided the link to your pre-order post: http://bookwormjournal.blogspot.com/2008/12/harry-potter-imagination.html
