Adrian Hook’s Reviews > Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone > Status Update

Re-reading as part of my “Literature Study” elective. My students will be viewing the novel through a psychoanalytic lens—relationships, unconscious motivations, dream analysis, id, ego, super-ego, and more. They’ve also been considering the Latin terms of “deus ex machina” and “hamartia” in their analysis.

It’s been enjoyable thus far as I/we get to be our best nerd selves.
