The Alchemical Harry Potter

2021/01/04

PUBLICATION NEWS: The Alchemical Harry Potter is now available for purchase from McFarland! (My chapter is in Part III, below.)From the publisher:When Harry Potter first boards the Hogwarts Express, he journeys to a world which Rowling says has alchemy as its “internal logic.” The Philosopher’s Stone, known for its power to transform base metals into gold and to give immortality to its maker, is the subject of the conflict between Harry and Voldemort in the first book of the series. But alchemy is

JK Rowling and the Essay of Doom

Quantum Harry, the Podcast ·

2020/06/11

The link to the podcast version of this essay. JK Rowling has, of late, been digging an ever-deepening hole concerning her attitudes toward transgender people. As the parent of a trans son, as well as someone who co-led (for 10 years) an interfaith 501(c)(3) educational organization that educated the public and media about the existence of people of faith who support equal rights for sexual minorities, reproductive freedom, and separation of church and state, I have felt the impetus to respond to

Part I of The Tarot Hallowsessays: Horcruxes and King’s Crosses In the last ten Quantum Harry essays I’ve been writing about each of the seven columns in the grid of Tarot Major Arcana cards numbered one to twenty-one, with three rows and seven columns (see Quantum Harry, the Podcast, Episode 30: Harry and Tarot) aligning with each of the seven books of the Harry Potter series, as well as the seven sets of sequential cards (1-3, 4-6, 7-9, etc.) also aligning with each of the

Which Tarot cards are aligned with the Deathly Hallows and why? What are the three Hallows with which JK Rowling begins the first book? How are Horcruxes linked to the Chariot, Wheel, and Sun cards?

Essay: The Half-Dead Headmaster

Quantum Harry, the Podcast ·

2019/07/23

In the grid of Tarot Major Arcana cards numbered one to twenty-one, the sixth column, which aligns with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has the Lovers (#6) at the top of the column, Death (#13) in the middle row, and Judgment (#20) at the bottom. In the book with the most romance, it’s fitting that the Lovers card is prominent here. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, love moves to center stage. Harry and Ginny’s relationship, foreshadowed by the Lovers being a sequential card

Harry Potter is a bishop in the life-sized chess match in the first book of the series, the fourth obstacle to the Philosopher’s Stone. He is a holy man and intercessor again in the Chamber of Secrets, when he has his spiritual coming-of-age (see Quantum Harry, the Podcast, Episode 13: Deus ex Machina), a symbolic confirmation or bar mitzvah, embodied by his statement of faith in Dumbledore bringing Fawkes-the-Phoenix to him (a symbolic Holy Spirit).

Essay: The Spirit of the Emperor

Quantum Harry, the Podcast ·

2019/06/11

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire begins in a setting that does not, at first, seem to include Harry. The opening description of Little Hangleton is similar to the introduction of the town of Pagford in The Casual Vacancy, JK Rowling’s first post-Potter novel. The village in Goblet of Fire is also a conservative, hide-bound outpost of prejudice and social stratification; in this village, a man accused of murder fifty years earlier is still a pariah, tormented by teenage vandals, forever

Essay: The End of the Realm of the Gods

2019/05/21

The first seven cards of the Tarot Major Arcana depict age-old archetypes, and with one exception, each aligns with a gender or age archetype (the Wise Old Man, the Maiden, the Father, etc.) plus the ageless and genderless Liminal Being. (See Quantum Harry, the Podcast, Episodes 2-9.) The only card in the first seven that doesn’t align with one of these archetypes has for its only numerically-linked card a Tarot archetype that does align with the remaining “missing” archetype, as if those two

Essay: Traitors, Rebels and Hanged Men

2019/04/30

In Alfonso Cuaron’s cinematic interpretation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, time is a recurring theme. This extends to the visual joke of a wizard at the Leaky Cauldron pub reading a copy of A Brief History of Time by the Muggle Stephen Hawking. There are numerous lingering shots of clocks in the film, large and small, and the Whomping Willow’s progress through the seasons is also used by Cuaron to illustrate the passage of time. Unlike many film versions of the books, this

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets being JK Rowling’s retelling of the Grimm version of “Little Red Riding Hood” is possibly one of the cleverest things she has done in the series. (See Quantum Harry, the Podcast, Episode 12: Grow Up Now, Episode 13: Deus ex Machina, and Episode 14: The Devil’s Game.) However, Rowling doesn’t just use myth and folklore to shape her seven-book series. When the Tarot Major Arcana cards numbered one through twenty-one are placed in a grid of three rows and
