| ACADEMICS gathered in Scotland on Friday to discuss a range of important literary topics including the racial politics of goblins, the canonisation of Neville Longbottom, and Beedle the Bard as mythopoesis in the Chaucerian tradition. Welcome to Britain's first conference on Harry Potter.
Entitled A Brand of Fictional Magic: Reading Harry Potter as Literature, the conference brings together 60 scholars for a two-day event hosted by the University of St Andrews school of English.
Billed as the world's first conference to discuss the Harry Potter series strictly as a literary text, it offers almost 50 lectures, with academics taking on issues including paganism, magic and the influence on J.K. Rowling of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Shakespeare. Seminar titles range from ''Moral development through Harry Potter in a post-9/11 world'' to ''Harry Potter and Lockean civil disobedience''.
