MuggleNet Interview with Hogwarts Professor John Granger (audio and transcript available)

How many times have your read the Harry Potter series so far? Do you feel like you understand why millions of fans around the world have re-read the entire series more than once? What is it about J.K. Rowling's masterpiece series that has gripped us and refuses to let go? Why is it that English Professors in approximately 70 Universities and Colleges around the world are diving into Harry Potter as deeply as Shakespeare, Jules Verne, or C.S. Lewis?
