    About this ebook

    An examination from a Catholic point of view of the Christian themes within the Harry Potter book series. The essay looks at the religious controversy as well as at the nature of magic in the books and the themes of love, death and self sacrifice.The essay also examines the disturbing lack of a Christian presence in most of the books, even when one would be expected, and the problems of alleged euthanasia in the last book. It agrees with Cardinal George Pell that the books contain sound moral and philosophical lessons and are 'a good yarn'.

    Joseph H.J. Liaigh

    Joseph H.J. Liaigh started out studying the polar ice caps on Mars. Since then he has worked as a government scientist, an Air Force intelligence officer and an academic. He has studied everything from the methane streams on Titan to the flat topped volcanoes of Venus. Through all this, he has been an avid devotee of detective fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. He has always written fiction as a hobby and, now that he has retired from university lecturing and taken up his role as a deacon in the Catholic Church, he has decided to publish his writing. Much of his work was, and is, written on the train while commuting to the city.
