Harry Potter and Beyond
On J. K. Rowling's Fantasies and Other Fictions
Along with the seven foundational novels of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and Beyond assesses the extraordinary range of supplementary material concerning the young wizard and his allies, including the films of the books, the subsequent film series of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the theatrical spectacle Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and a range of other Potter-inspired narratives. Beyond the world of Potter, Pugh surveys Rowling's literary fiction The Casual Vacancy and her detective series featuring Cormoran Strike, written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Through this comprehensive overview of Rowling's body of work, Pugh reveals the vast web of connections between yesteryear's stories and Rowling's vivid creations.
About the Author
Reviews
"In his eminently readable Harry Potter and Beyond, Tison Pugh offers keen insights into race, gender, queerness, and especially genre as he illuminates Rowling's fantasy fiction and also her mystery novels."—Beverly Clark, Wheaton College
"Contextualizing Rowling's works within and beyond the Harry Potter franchise in terms of genre, ideology, critical response, and artistic achievement, Tison Pugh's new book offers an informed, appreciative, and approachable assessment."—Claudia Nelson, Texas A&M University
"an enlightening and enjoyable read, packing a wide range of scholarship into a short and readable format. It is an excellent introduction to the critical theory surrounding Potter as well as a worthwhile addition to the collection of a seasoned researcher."—MuggleNet
"In this fresh and useful addition to the ever-growing critical canon on Rowling, Pugh encourages readers to explore Rowling's works through and across literary genres including school story, bildungsroman, mystery, and allegory—all elements Rowling imbues in her work... the book is both deeply critical and entertainingly readable... The multisection bibliography provides a must-read list for literary criticism, Harry Potter studies, and wider canonical literature. This work will be useful for those engaged in genre or author studies, young adult literature, or literary criticism more broadly."—Choice
