The Harry Potter novels are not only renowned for their huge number of fans worldwide. They found not only approval amongst adults but many critical voices have risen in a sharp tone against the internationally succesful tales from the wizard world.Especially on the internet but as well in printed magazines and newspapers we can read about alleged satanism in the books. The author of this scholarly book is a political scientist, who lives in Germany. He does a thorough analysis of the seven novels. He comes up with scores of quotations from the original books and poses them in a scholarly context. So the reader can find out about the main subject of the novels: real friendship, racism and how to fight it, tolerance, education and knowledge, love and the nonsense of esotericism. The author can prove how wrong the well known accusations are; and that J.K. Rowling is a truthful supporter of a broad humanistic education fighting intolerance and ignorance. Kück does a careful scrutiny on the Harry Potter books and can prove that Ms Rowling does not promote satanism. MAybe a contribution to the "Banned Books Week".
