Narrative drive and genre : why we keep turning the pages
Pride and prejudice with wands : how Jane Austen haunts the heart and soul of Rowling's artistry
Setting, the familiar stage and scenery props of the drama : Harry Potter as a boarding school story in the tradition of Tom Brown's schooldays
Gothic romance : the spooky atmosphere formula from Transylvania : Harry Potter as an echo of the Bronte sisters, Frankenstein, The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Dracula
Harry Potter as postmodern epic : preaching the gospel of tolerance and inclusiveness
and choosing the metanarrative of love
The satirical Harry Potter : the allegorical journey Harry takes with Gulliver into Plato's cave in order to make a point in mockery about government and news media
Harry Potter as an Everyman allegory : Harry, Hogwarts, and company as medieval types for reader reflection and edification
The magical center of the circle : the mythic meaning of Harry's hero's journeys from Privet Drive to King's Cross
