Summary

A philosophical exploration of the entire seven-book Harry Potter series.

Harry Potter has been heralded as one of the most popular book series of all time, and the philosophical nature of Harry, Hermione, and Ron's quest to rid the world of its ultimate evil is one of the many things that make this series special. The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy covers all seven titles in J.K. Rowling's groundbreaking series and takes fans back to Godric's Hollow to discuss life after death, to consider what moral reasoning drove Harry to choose death, and to debate whether Sirius Black is a man or a dog. This book will be the definitive guide for all fans looking to appreciate the series on a deeper level.

  • Gives you a new perspective on Harry Potter characters, plot lines, and themes 
  • Makes a perfect companion to the Harry Potter books and movies 

Packed with interesting ideas and insights, The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy is an ideal companion for anyone interested in unraveling the subtext and exploring the greater issues at work in the story.

Monotonous Narrator

The narrator reads 99% of sentences in this audiobook in the exact same tone and voice fluctuation.

Terrible narration

The speaker sounds like a robot… it is so distracting I lost track of what she was saying
