Harry Potter's Bookshelf: The Great Books Behind the Hogwarts Adventures by John Granger
3.0
The Harry-Potter-obsessed-English-major in me really loved this book. It reads like a set of literary analysis papers combined and tied together. I had read most of the books that were used as comparisons to Harry Potter- I don't think I would have enjoyed it If I hadn't.
This book went into some things that I hadn't considered when reading Harry Potter but they totally make sense and I'll be thinking about them next time I read the series.
I'm giving this only 3 stars because it isn't fun to read in the same way a novel is fun to read. But anyone interested in the literary aspects of Harry Potter will enjoy this book.
