After yesterday’s introduction to the taxonomy of Rowling Studies — the Lake Four Pillars, the Seven Shed Tools, and the Twelve Golden Threads — today Nick and John apply one pillar and one tool to Rowling’s first published wotk, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Enjoy!

The Four ‘Lake’ Pillars of understanding Jo Rowling, the Seven Shed Tools she uses, the Twelve golden Threads — Nick Jeffery and I launched our month long series of Lake and Shed readings on 1 July last year with the engaging introduction above.

Enjoy!
