The Floating Boy, Unexpurgated Edition

Have you ever finished a book and wished you could delve deeper into its world?

Harry Potter’s Closet: Connections Between Wizarding & LGBTQ Communities

By Kenneth Alan Moe

Harry Potter literally stayed in the closet. In Britain the word for closet is cupboard, where Harry was forced to sleep for ten years. As a result of the ubiquitous influence of J. K. Rowling’s work, the American expression “to come out of the closet” meaning to go public about being gay, has led to a parallel idiom “to come out of the cupboard” meaning to reveal a secret…

Scriptural Quotes & Allusions in Harry Potter

By Kenneth Alan Moe

The presumption that Rowling’s use of witchcraft and wizardry in the Harry Potterseries indicates a celebration of the devil’s work is patently false. This is refuted not only in the explicit good vs. evil battle that is waged between Harry and Voldemort. Rowling embraces decidedly Christian themes in the willingness of many of her characters to sacrifice themselves for the…

Like his father and grandfather before him, Derek Hauser chose to be a naked farmer. Before the war, his grandfather and family escaped Nazi Germany where they had been part of the early nudist movement from the turn of the century.
