A Very Interesting Essay on Harry Potter and Sexuality

So, I read this essay. There was one part in it that had me grinning and snorting in turns. It’s an interesting interpretation, though rather hilarious at times (not to say ridiculous).

Anyway, I thought I’d share it with you. It’s quoted from Casey Cothran, “Lessons in Transfiguration: Allegories of Male Identity in Rowling’s Harry Potter Series” in Scholarly Studies in Harry Potter: applying academic methods to a popular text, ed. by Cynthia Whitney Hallett.

I’ve copied it and only changed the layout a bit to make it easier to read. Have fun.
