Christianity Encrypted: Harry Potter as a Modern Day Parable

The Harry Potter phenomenon is inescapable. J.K.Rowling's boy wizard appeared out of nowhere and captured the imagination of the entire world. Why? What is it about Harry? How should we regard him? Is he something to be welcomed ...or feared? Many conscientious Christians are unsure and fear he poses a danger to their children's faith. In this book Teresa Major, a lifelong Catholic and mother of twelve children, draws on Scripture, tradition, and experience to show how Harry, far from being evil, is actually a powerful force for good, helping to form men of good will on a world-wide scale.
