And now there is scientific proof that Harry's goodness helps produce goodness in others.
I would love to take a course in Potter. I would love nothing more, too, than teaching a Potter course with middle schoolers.
And so. Reminds me I need to read the new short story on Pottermore! I'll leave you with this:
"Why you should care: It's impossible to rule out that there were inevitably other factors at work beyond the scope of the study, but if you're a Harry Potter fan, this is wonderful news. It provides some experimental backing for J.K. Rowling'sopinion that, "The Potter books in general are a prolonged argument for tolerance, a prolonged plea for an end to bigotry."
More importantly, it shows that conveying messages of tolerance through literature actually works. Potter's journey of self-discovery, then, might some day be immortalized in projects that aim to teach tolerance to young children."
Oh, Harry.
