Quote: Drawing on their expertise in theology, children's literature, globalization studies and even the history of witchcraft, professors have been able to use Harry Potter to attract crowds of students eager to take on a disciplined study of the books.

Who would have thought, when the books first came out, just how globally they would be embraced, touted and studied?
I am also awed at how the books are used for study looking deeper into theology. Even though I consider myself a Christian, over the years I've read books on witchcraft and such ... because, to a point, I do believe in it. But I suppose the college courses are not so much embracing witchcraft... but more the bigger picture of "good vs evil", "dark vs light"... etc.
