Summary:

"Before she was a renowned children's author, J.K. Rowling was an educator. Her bestselling series, Harry Potter, places education at the forefront focusing not only on Harry, Ron, and Hermione's adventures but also on their magical education. This multi-author collection shines a light on the central role of education within the Harry Potter series. Previous authors have explored the educational possibilities of using the Harry Potter texts in the classroom to enhance student learning. This collection explores the pedagogical possibilities of using Harry Potterto enhance teaching effectiveness. Authors examine topics related to environments for learning, approaches to teaching and learning, and the role of mentorship. Created for scholars, teachers, and fans alike, this collection provides an entry into pedagogical theories and offers critical perspectives on the quality of Hogwarts education-from exemplary to abusive and every approach in between. Hogwarts provides many lessons for educators, both magical and muggle alike"-- Provided by publisher.
