Decoding Harry Potter
The former head writer of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire explains the secrets of Harry's mythology in The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter. From alchemy to hippogriffs to veela, David Colbert explores the fascinating meanings between the lines in all the Harry Potter books. For instance, Hagrid's pet dog, Fluffy, represents Cerberus, and the wizard school Durmstrang refers to the Nazi-favored artistic style Sturm und Drang. Have witches always flown on broomsticks? Why would chocolate help after escaping a Dementor? Find out! Also, consider Harry Potter's Muggles' Guide to Magic and the Harry Potter schoolbooks Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Leftie intellectual Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed, says "this is simply the finest, most comprehensive and masterfully annotated collection of Bushisms to date." (Sorry, Jacob Weisberg.)
