“Harry Potter” academia event at Western Washington University tomorrow

by Keith Hawk · February 7, 2012

The Harry Potter series has been an attraction for scholars the world over as colleges and universities examine the intricacies of the literary phenomenon. The series is even used to study genetics as we previously reported.

On Wednesday, February 8, another course in the academia of Harry Potter will be shared. This time, it comes from Western Washington University’s Hannah Boxberger, a WWU senior majoring in classical studies, who will be giving a lecture titled, “Classical Mythology in the World of Harry Potter.”

The event is scheduled for 4:00PM in the Wilson Reading Room, 4C, of the Western Libraries at WWU and is FREE and open to the public.

If you attend this event and would like to write an article on the lecture, please contact me directly at keith@staff.mugglenet.com.

Is your college or university offering Harry Potter academia? Let us know in the comments below.
