| | |  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. Quote:
Today's college students are like no others in history," said Kern. "They had the chance to grow up right along with Harry Potter. I'd be foolish to pass up the teaching opportunities that those circumstances offer me."

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

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 gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

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.
