Values of Harry Potter: Lessons for Muggles, Expanded Edition

For those who want to learn about the Harry Potter series, Armstrong's book will be a very valuable aid, including several important abstract concepts to infiltrate and promote Harry Potter's adventure. Although the degree is varied, human life is also promoted in real life by the same concept.

In the first chapter, I will present an example of Harry Potter's book series "Heroes and Values ​​Fighting". In Chapter 2, we are exploring the independence and its important role in heroism, and the independence and independence of the dependence of various forms. This is also surprisingly reflected in the book of "Harry Potter". In Chapter 3, we will explore the free will within the story of Harry Potter, another important element for heroic pursuit and advocacy of value.

Armstrong also has elements of collision of the "Harry Potter" series, in particular "Collision of Love and Sacrifice" (Chapter 4), and a role of faith in eternal spiritual life, which is beyond the body's death I pointed out that. (Chapter 5) As an inevitable consequence of the belief in immortal souls, Armstrong explores the different materialistic views that Harry Potter had predicted.

The enemy of Harry Potter is Voldemort, caught by "purity of blood" and is trying to dominate the magical world and the non-magical world by destroying all the muggles.
