Character Education: The Legacy of the Harry Potter Novels. A Critical Review and Guide to Character Education for Parents and Educators.
Stefan Neilson,Joe Hutton,Nora Hutton
As Lord Voldemort's Attack of Harry Potter left a scar on his forehead, many parents and educators are concerned that reading about the life and times of Harry Potter may scare our children's minds.
The Harry Potter phenomenon has just begun and it is here to stay. With it has come the onslaught of gifts, goblins, gimmicks and gadgetry, which are the inevitable by-product of a literary, hit.
There is a legitimate concern expressed by many parents and educators about the negative impact, which could flow from misguided interpretations of J. K. Roelings' magnificent creation.
The fear is that the specter of witchcraft and terrible, scary creatures may now invade the world of children's entertainment and commercial exploitation of that aspect will override the positive values of the stories in the nurturing of young minds.
It does not have to be so. This text is designed for concerned parents and educators. It shows how to use the vivid experiences of Harry Potter and your own as models for leadership, team building, courage, the prevalence of good over evil and discovering the wonder and genius of the inner self.
Included is a free set of magical behavioral and personality identification communication cards.
