This book is actually part 1 in a 3-part series. This book itself takes an academic look at the JKR's religious allegorical elements in her books. I did not know that going into this, but I found that the way the author did it was a rather nice way of going about things. I gave it 3 stars because I generally dislike book that concentrate on religion in any way. This one managed to not sound "preachy" but I feel that it toed the line a few times. ( )
