Harry Potter college course
 

Students at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin will be able to enroll in a course called "Thinking About Harry Potter" during their fall term of next year. The course will be taught by Edmund M. Kern, the author of The Wisdom of Harry Potter: What Our Favorite Hero Teaches Us About Moral Choices. However, students may only enroll in the course with the consent of Kern.

The course will focus on Harry as not only a literary phenomenon, but as the biggest pop-cultural event of the ear. It will also explore Rowling's references to history, legend, and myth, take up debates about their contested aesthetic merit and ethical values, and take stock of their broader social and political implications.

now THAT is very cool, that's probably a class i wouldn't fail;)

Those people who are attending are very lucky! I really, really want to learn that. I hope I'll get a chance when I get older. ^^

LOL that's great, what a complicated way to word things tho. I wish I lived in wisconsin, my dad lived there for a while tho haha

Bwaha. XD That's so awesome! One of my friends had to read a few chapters of the Sorcerer's Stone for a class. ^^, lucky gal. :)

ooh! that would be a really great clas..*huhu*moans* if only i could go..

It sounds amazing! Very cool!

wow that's totally awsome!

wow that's the best type (topic) of class I've heard of :)

Aww, makes me feel so special! Wish I could attend...

Wow! Wish my college had a course like that! I'd jump at the chance to take it!

Oi, I want to go! I'm not nearly old enough, but still!

thats great! I wish I could go

I want to ake that class, I will got oschool everyday for that

Hmm... maybe this will start a trend in college campuses, yes?

*crossing fingers for Uni. Rochester*

What a fun idea for a class.

That would be such a fun class to take. It would be real interesting.

That's cool! Too bad the course didn't start this year...then they would have been able to discuss their theories for book seven!

I wish I was old enough and lived there so I could take the course... *sigh*

I'm so jealous! I wish i lived there!

Oh that is so cool. I would love to take that class!

that is soo awesome!! but, i only hav enough money to go to a hometown college(tops)

DUDE that is thee most wicked class I have ever heard of in my entire life!! Where can I sign up? hee hee:hpbroom:

That's a great class! :)

That's so cool

That's so cool! I hope they bring that class to UNR (the college I'm going to)! There's a class for LOTR at UNR already, and I don't like LOTR, so a class on Harry Potter would be the first thing I'd sign up for.

:whistle: Is it too late to transfer? ... only just finished my third year of college, but it's no big deal, right?
