• W3210235448 abstract "Reviewed by: The Harry Potter Generation: Essays on Growing Up with the Series ed. by Emily Lauer and Balaka Basu Paul A. Thomas (bio) Emily Lauer and Balaka Basu, eds. The Harry Potter Generation: Essays on Growing Up with the Series. McFarland, 2019. As someone who was born in the early 1990s, I can say unequivocally that Harry Potter played a major role in my life: I remember being in third grade and reading the Sorcerer's Stone, captivated by this new world I had discovered. I remember the midnight premieres, the queues outside of bookstores, and the record-breaking sales numbers. I remember the cultural impact, the controversy, and the fandom. It is not hyperbole to say that J. K. Rowling's book series was so big that it left its mark on the very soul of my cohort, and even today on social media platforms like TikTok, the whippersnappers in Gen Z often tease me and my fellow Millennials by calling us the Harry Potter generation. It is this generation, and their unique experiences with Rowling's series, that Emily Lauer and Balaka Basu's edited book The Harry Potter Generation seeks to explore. The Harry Potter Generation opens with a general introduction that establishes the purpose of the book: to examine the Harry Potter generation as our students in the classroom, as the authors publishing the fiction we read in the bookstore and on the internet, as community builders, and ultimately as the makers of a very near future (3). The book then segues into a useful prologue, which discusses the major cultural works that influenced the Harry Potter series (i.e., Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [1865] and C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series [1950–56]), the sociocultural environment in which the Harry Potter generation grew up, and the societal changes that the book may have engendered. This feature of the book is particularly useful, allowing a reader who is otherwise unfamiliar with Harry Potter's origin story to vividly contextualize the emergence [End Page 247] of the series and understand why the books may have impacted the titular generation in the way it did. After these initial sections, the book's first analytic section, The Phenomenon, begins. In the opening chapter, Yours to Keep, Isaac Vayo discusses the way the series impacted actors Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, and how the two navigated their runaway success; the following chapter by authors Dion McLeod and Elise Payne, entitled Loony Lovegood and the Almost Chosen One, discusses the oft-overlooked impact of the characters Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. Book co-editor Emily Lauer also contributes an essay to this section titled Harry Potter and the Book Burners' Mistake, which considers the banning of Harry Potter by conservative Christian ministers and the unintended consequences of this decision. The section ends with The Disenchantment of Harry Potter, a standout work by Marian Yee that employs Max Weber's concept of modernization to argue that the magical world—with its bureaucratic systems of governance and its established institutions of magical learning—is one thoroughly permeated by modernity, and that it is Voldemort who represents the wildness of magic. Yee's piece is clever, and by exposing the rote, disenchanted elements of the wizard world (e.g., a system of magical governance creaking under its bureaucratic weight, a government-run school system that uses standardized textbooks), the author upends many assumptions readers likely have about the nature of Rowling's magical society. The book's second section, titled Cultural Memory and Identity, considers how Harry Potter fans interact and play around with a collective understanding of the series. Emily Lohorn's first chapter, Cloaked in History, uses in-universe logic to consider the nature of magical heritage sites (e.g., locations in the Harry Potter universe that hold historical value, such as the Hogwarts castle). The author argues that these locales, analogous to heritage sites preserved by UNESCO, can be examined to better understand how Rowling crafts the history of her series. The second essay, Dennis J. Siler's Wizarding World Tourism, is also interested in locations, albeit those in our muggle reality, namely..." @default.
