This week, TWH considers religion in two ways:
In the first hour, we talk about the role that religion plays in the series—from the Bible quotes on Ariana and Kendra Dumbledore’s and James and Lily Potter’s graves, to the Jesus figure that Harry comes to represent when he is willing to sacrifice himself on behalf of his friends.
In the second hour, we discuss how the Harry Potter fandom functions as a religion, which features guest speaker Luis Alba-Sanchez!! Luis has looked closely at this idea, and he explores the function of the books as a “sacred text,” the devotion of fans as seen in Dear Mr. Potter and more.
