The Psychology of Harry Potter
The Psychology of Harry Potter: An Unauthorized Examination Of The Boy Who Lived | Neil Mulholland
15 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
Harry Potter has provided a portal to the wizarding world for millions of readers, but an examination of Harry, his friends and his enemies will take us on yet another journey: through the psyche of the Muggle (and wizard!) mind. The twists and turns of the series, as well as the psychological depth and complexity of J. K. Rowling's characters, have kept fans enthralled with and puzzling over the many mysteries that permeate Hogwarts and beyond: Do the Harry Potter books encourage disobedience? Why is everyone so fascinated by Professor Lupin? What exactly will Harry and his friends do wh.

Previous results: #Slytherin, buzzard, elder wood with a phoenix feather core 10 3/4” and unyielding, #Wampus.

Today‘s results: #Ravenclaw, beagle, maple wood with a phoenix feather core 10 3/4” and unyielding, #HornedSerpent.

Megara @TheBookDream So I guess I‘m a #Ravenclaw? 6y

I found this article super interesting, and then it started to click. So many on here have anxiety, ocd, etc... and we all love Harry Potter. Maybe there's a reason, and the person who wrote this article is on to something.

Reaching Forward South is a small support staff conference for Illinois libraries. This year our conference is in Edwardsville. And I'm giving away a free ticket and goody bag. You don't have to be an Illinois Librarian, we welcome Missouri, and Indiana as well. For this we are hosting a photo challenge. Play along if you want to win tickets or just for the fun. Tag me and use #RFS18 and let's all show off our libraries.

@Chelleo #LitsyHandle R o w are the first three letters of my last name.I was working as a bookseller when a bunch of the later Harry Potter books came out. Customers would pretty often hear my last name and go “like JK Rowling” because we have five of the same letters. It happened so much it started to irritate me. No it‘s a totally different name! I ❤️ the HP books. Not to the extent of lots

14 Questions to determine which house you belong in. I (as usual) got Hufflepuff, Man Cub wanted to take the quiz as well and got Gryffindor.

✨Does anyone else receive the JK Rowling Wizarding World box?! I got my first one the other day and fell in love. 😍
✨The coffee is from an OwlCrate box, but the Horocrux, wand pen, and Honey Duke's erasers and a few other goodies not pictured all came in it.💀
✨Only downfall is it's only bimonthly. 😔 Also, did anyone get the box with the gorgeous set on bookends? I envy you. 😍

No real surprises here! I'm a very anxious smart person who is extremely loyal to her friends and other loved ones, and though I don't necessarily put stock in others' opinions of me, I can't stand thinking I may have wronged someone to get my way; thus, these results seem pretty fitting!

#feistyfeb #fanfic/homage all my first copies of HP I bought were the uk 'adult' copies. I'm now going to start collecting different editions. I have a few more pops on the way including Dobby and Newt ⚡️❤️

Graciouswarriorprincess Love the POP figures! 7y
LeahBergen 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
TheNextBook I'm finally finishing my collection. The last full set I'm going to buy will be the illustrated edition. I was debating on buying the "Hogwarts House" edition of Philosopher's Stone coming out later but I won't. If someone gifts it thats fine ? 7y

DeborahSmall @TheNextBook they look amazing. I'll continue with the illustrated versions and hope for the Hogwarts House for my birthday. Are they coming out as a set or one at a time? X 7y
TheNextBook I think they are releasing all of the House books at the same time but it will only be the first book. I'm a Gryffindor but my son is a Ravenclaw and he would want one so I would end up buying them all to have a complete set. 😂 I'll mention to a few people that I'm open to it as a gift and see if anyone bites! 7y
DeborahSmall @TheNextBook Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff! But I've always felt more like a Gryffindor. My daughter definitely Gryffindor so I'd start with the Gryffindor books then Hufflepuff. It's my 40th this year so I'm not being shy when it comes to telling family what to buy me 😂 7y
TheNextBook The sorting hat would take what you want into consideration. You know what you are more than a test does 😉 7y
