The Gargantuan Guide to Harry Potter is a study guide designed to accompany the reading of the Harry Potter series in a course or classroom setting (although individual readers will also find it a useful and fascinating reference). Readers who want to learn more than is immediately apparent in the books will find critical commentary to help them understand possible underlying connections to the greater storyline. They will also find detailed analysis of plot and action, thought-provoking study questions, and illuminating insights into people, places, events--and magic! An excellent commentary for anyone who wants a more thorough understanding of the Harry Potter series.
