Don’t be misled by the title or cover – this book is not a facetious attack on organized religion or an apologetic Christianizing of Harry Potter. It is instead a history of religious mythology, constellation symbolism, and investigation into the arguments for and against the historical Christ.
The comparisons between Jesus and Harry Potter are not the main focus on this book; they only serve as a window into the blurring lines between literary fiction and what is taken as religious fact – even when it has no historical basis.
Anyone who’s interested in the way we tell stories, and where the common elements in those stories really came from, will enjoy this tour through esoteric symbolism and Christian history.
