Professors
Bancroft, Allen, Oliff, and Minto formed the panel to discuss
the literary and biblical implications of the Harry Potter
Series by J. K. Rowling. Over 90 students attended this
special Honors Forum. |
| Students attended
the one hour Forum held in the Auxiliary Dining Room at
Philadelphia Biblical University. There was time for the
panel to present their views, as well as, for students to ask
questions. |

The
outcome of the presentations was that the Potter books probably
need to be read with supervision by a parent for children.
The books also should probably follow reading of other fantasy
series by Tolkien and Lewis. It was concluded that the
Potter books, for a mature believer, were acceptable fantasy
reading. |

| Quidditch Through the Ages
is a comprehensive guide to Quidditch and the ultimate resource
for anyone interested in the magical world and its most popular
sport. Written by "Kenilworthy Whisp,"
it is charmingly reproduced as if it were a facsimile of the
very copy from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry. |
Fantastic Beasts and Where To
Find Them is an A to Z listing of magical beasts — those
you've heard of and some new ones, and their classifications.
Written by "Newt Scamander,"
it's on the required book list for all Hogwarts students and a
much-revered text by Hagrid. |
