Themes in Harry Potter
What do you think are the main themes of the Harry Potter series? Do you think there is a moral framework underlying the books? I was re-reading the end of Order of the Phoenix and I was interested by Luna and Harry's conversation about the dead beyond the veil, suggesting an after-life of some kind is part of the Potter universe. Do you think the Harry Potter books show many Christian influences?
