For those of you who have been holding off on purchasing The Deathly Hallows Lectures in the hope that Santa and Rudolph will bring you a copy or that the urge to understand the literary alchemy, Christian content, and eye and mirror symbolism of the series finale might pass, please go to the new and beautiful Zossima Press website and read the introduction to Lectures. And then buy your autographed copy right there!
If that wasn’t enough, Travis Prinzi and the house-elves that work for him have posted two audio files from the Wake Forest C. S. Lewis Conference, which talks are included in Views from Wake Forest, the Zossima Press collection of the best talks given there. I was at both Walter Hooper’s talk and James Como’s lecture in Wake Forest; I’m confident that after listening to them, you’ll want to read them and the other conference topics in Views.
Great things over at Zossima.com! Get thee hither, AllPro.
But when will the final revision of Looking for God in Harry Potter be out? Or have I missed it?
Or is the title now How Harry Cast His Spell: The Meaning Behind the Mania for J. K. Rowling’s Bestselling Books? If that is it, I just ordered it on Amazon. 🙂
The title is, indeed, *How Harry Cast His Spell.* I look forward to reading your thoughts about it (my email address is in the introduction).
I hope to get a hold of it soon, John, mainly when I’m making money and not just in teacher training. I have referred a few people here and to Zossima lately, though– does that count in the HogPro Quidditch Pitch as a Potter Point? (how many references can I pack into one clause, lol!).
Every time I come here, I get reminded of how much I want to invite total destruction and do a comparison piece (mainly thematic) between the Potter series and (gasp) Lord of the Rings…
In the meantime, keep up the good work, and I will reference this again in the webpage where i posted the comment about your works and this site. A few folks responded very enthusiastically – and if you somehow can sell your book in Finland, I think I could guarantee one buyer… 🙂
