Dr. Robert R. Scarpin -- I was directed to a sister thread through a Google search on "novel themes bigotry" and was pleasantly surprised to find it #1, because my search was for information I could use on my site
Dr. Robert R Scarpin's SCARPnotes. It actually is a "Harry Potter" literary site devoted to the books (as opposed to movie, fan fiction etc.)
Anyone who desires is welcome to Peruse the "Hallows" section for information on "Themes, Motifs, Symbolism, Literary Devices and Foreshadowing." It is fairly complete and has taken a fair amount of work; but, is nowhere close to being finished. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Additionally, I've noticed that whenever any thread on a Harry Potter topic is started, anywhere, it quickly splinters into discussions (if not ranting's) on censorship, book burnings and the like. My assessment of that, is that most parents are very concerned about the book's effect on their children; but, may be at a loss for how to handle it. That's why I've recently added: "A PARENT'S GUIDE" section to the chapter summary annotations. So, while reading each chapter summary, a "surfer" can view annotations in either the: "literary," "Hero's Journey," or "Parent's Guide" flavor.
Oh, I've already read the book in its entirety- as you will be able to see from the website.
