Harry Potter & Imagination (Book)

Glenn Lucke, author and proprietor of Common Grounds Online, interviewed me about Harry Potter & Imagination. Part 1 is up today. Here are Glenn’s very kind words about Harry Potter & Imagination:

For those who love all things Potter, in my estimation Prinzi’s work is the best book I’ve read on the subject. Prinzi not only brings a wealth of learning about literature, and particularly fantasy literature, to bear on the J.K. Rowling’s Potter oerve, but he also thinks interdependently. He avoids merely splicing quotes and others’ insights, but rather he engages other writers and Rowling from his own point of view. The questions Prinzi asks in HP & Imagination kept me riveted, and he writes in a style that is a delight to read.

If you want to read Potter at new levels of depth and see Rowling’s adroit use of venerable traditions in fantasy writing and her simultaneous creation of new forms, let Prinzi be your guide. He not only enriched my reading and understanding of the Harry Potter series, but also he  nudged me into considering how these great themes could impact my own life more deeply.
