Harry and the Horn Book |
It’s easy to dominate bestseller
lists, shatter box office records, and induce millions of otherwise
sensible people to don wizard’s hats and line up at midnight
for a really, really long book — assuming, of course, you’re
got a lightning-shaped scar on your forehead. But beguiling the
Horn Book? That’s a bit tougher, as you’ll see below,
where we’ve gathered reviews of books one through
seven and three of the movies, Roger Sutton’s editorials
on the phenomenon, and two articles about the boy wizard's influence:
one from a conservative Christian point of view (with letters in
response), the other on adults reading children's books. And how
to fill the gaping void after the last page of the final book is
turned? Our summer reading booklist humbly offers some suggestions.
