Producing Harry Potter : why the medium is still the message / Glocal hero : Harry Potter abroad / Foreign yet familiar : international politics and the reception of Potter in Turkey and Sweden / Children's crusade : the religious politics of Harry Potter / Conflict and the nation-state : magical mirrors of muggles and refracted images / Quidditch, imperialism, and the sport-war intertext / Naturalizing geography : Harry Potter and the realms of muggles, magic folks, and giants / The fantasy of realism, or mythology as methodology / Dumbledore's pedagogy : knowledge and virtue at Hogwarts / Patricia M.

Neumann -- Martin Hall -- Torbjorn L. Knutsen.
"Why not take seriously the claim that Harry Potter's world intertwines with our own? In this timely yet otherworldly volume, more than a dozen scholars of international relations join hands to demonstrate how this well-loved artifact of popular culture reflects and shapes our own lifeworld. A wide range of historical and sociological sources shows how Harry's world contains aspects of our own. Practices such as Quidditch dovetail quite clearly with "muggle" sports, and the very British-ness of the books has, in translation into languages such as Turkish and Arabic, been transformed to reflect these unique cultures. Chapters on the political economy of the franchise as well as the scholarly problems of studying popular culture frame what is essentially a highly info-taining read."--Jacket.
