Product Description
Harry Potter has put a spell on millions of readers, and they all want to find out more about the deeper meaning of his adventures. In Harry Potter and Philosophy, 17 experts in the field of philosophy unlock some of Hogwarts’ secret panels, uncovering surprising insights that are enlightening both for wizards and for the most discerning muggles. Individual chapters look at such topics as life revealed in the Mirror of Erised; the ethics of magic; Moaning Myrtle, Nearly Headless Nick, and the relation of the mind to the brain; and the character of Hermione as a case of “sublimated feminism.” Also examined in this witty collection are how Aristotle would have run a school for wizards; whether the Potter stories undermine religion and morality; how to tell good people from evil ones through the characters in these novels; and what dementors and boggarts can teach readers about happiness, fear, and the soul.

Editorial Review
This hat is so plush it stands up on its own (or is it really magic?). Made of a velvety black material and emblazoned with the Hogwarts crest, this witch’s hat, with an appropriately witchy curve to its peak and a nice stiff brim, would make any student at Hogwarts (or any other school) proud. Pair this hat with a black dress or cape and a broomstick and you’ve got a wicked Harry Potter-inspired costume. Nifty features include the adjustable headband and hidden inner pocket. –M. Sullivan

Amazon.com ReviewThe Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition In December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Amazon was fortunate to come into possession of one of the original copies, and it was our privilege to share images and reviews of this incredible artifact. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with a new edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008. Offering the trademark wit and imagination familiar to Rowling’s legions of readers–as well as Aesop’s wisdom and the occasional darkness of the Brothers Grimm–each of these five tales reveals a lesson befitting children and parents alike: the strength gained with a trusted friendship, the redemptive power of love, and the true magic that exists in the hearts of all of us. Rowling’s new in (more…)

Even the most ardent of Harry Potter fans will be surprised by and delighted with the Hogwarts Professor’s explanations of the three dimensions of meaning in DEATHLY HALLOWS to include why Ms. Rowling chose to make Lily’s eyes green, why Harry buried Moody’s eye where and when he did, and why Ollivander prefers the three wand cores he does.

Product Description
Harry Potter takes the magic of Building Cards to a whole new realm.Equal parts toy and construction set, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the fourth and most fantastic Building Cards set yet.Because Hogwarts castle looms so large in the imagination of fans all over the world, we made the new Building Cards set bigger than its predecessors and packaged it with more cards. Sturdy slot-to-slot construction means there is no need for glue, nails and the cards can be taken apart and re-assembled over and over again. (A good thing, since staircases at Hogwarts have a habit of moving around.) Of course, no Hogwarts experience would be complete without its most famous student, so we included a specially molded Harry Potter figure, ready to explore the one-of-a-kind school you create. The included book is full of building ideas, assembly hints, step-by-step illustrations and directions so simple, even a Muggle could follow them.

Amazon.com Review
Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry–Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages–are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter’s actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (more…)
