Harry Pot­ter has made it to col­lege. The pro­fes­sors who teach the course exam­ine among other things, the­ol­ogy and the global impact these books have had across the globe. I bet this class is packed (with a wait­ing list a mile long) and it sounds like fun. The arti­cle goes on fur­ther to argue that chidren’s lit­er­a­ture is lit­er­a­ture and should be taken seri­ously, no mat­ter the age group or acces­si­bil­ity. I agree. I know I am drawn to YA lit­er­a­ture in all genre’s because there seems to be a larger pool for orig­i­nal and thought pro­vok­ing ideas that relates to the world we live in today.
