"Ethics and Harry Potter"-- Amy Anderson, NoVES Member

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books chronicling the adventures of the young wizard are among the best-selling books of all times. These books have also created controversy and are among the most banned books of all times, most often by conservative Christians. But beyond the religious controversy, there are moral themes in the books; themes to which children and adults world wide have responded strongly. Ms. Anderson, graduate of Yale Divinity School and currently a play therapist, will discuss these moral themes and values in her platform, "The Ethics of Harry Potter."
