Why not take seriously the claim that Harry Potters world intertwines with ourown? In this timely yet otherworldly volume more than a dozen scholars ofinternational relations join hands to demonstrate how this wellloved artifactof popular culture reflects and shapes our own lifeworld. A wide range ofhistorical and sociological sources shows how Harrys world contains aspects ofour own. Practices such as quidditch dovetail quite clearly with _muggle_sports and the very Britishness of the books has in translation intolanguages such as Turkish and Arabic been transformed to reflect these uniquecultures. Chapters on the political economy of the franchise as well as thescholarly problems of studying popular culture frame what is essentially ahighly infotaining read. «
