Product Description
Harry Potter has captivated the imagination of millions of children. And Harry Potter has caused controversy in churches and schools. What's a parent to do with the magical, mystical world of Harry and his friends? Gina Burkart chose to read the books with her own children. As they read together, she discovered many parallels between Christian faith and the themes of these books. Indeed, the escapades of Harry Potter sparked significant conversation between Burkart and her kids. In this helpful, entertaining guide, Burkart shows how Harry Potter fits into the tradition of fairy tale writing and how this type of literature aids in building a moral framework. She highlights specific situations and emotions from Harry's world that children face in their own life, such as fear, anger, bullies, diversity and the choice of good over evil. Instead of magic words or easy answers, Burkart offers solid, practical advice for helping parents and children navigate Harry Potter's world--and our own--together. Features & Benefits * Background on how to talk about fantasy with children * Discussion ideas for key moral and spiritual topics * Helpful content for homeschoolers and educators * Includes discussion questions and ideas to open up conversation with your children * Shows how the Potter books can help children with moral and spiritual formation

 | A great book for parents of new Harry Potter readers! May 24, 2006 |
| After recently reading my first Harry Potter book, I picked up A Parent's Guide To Harry Potter as a supplement to what I had read. I was impressed with the easy approach Ms. Burkart gives to the series. The simple tips for translating events in the book into real life situations were very valuable. This book is a must-read for anyone just beginning their journey into Harry Potter! | | | | Connect with Your Children Nov 20, 2005 |
When I began reading Harry Potter with my children, I was amazed at the discussions that emerged. I found my children relating to Harry and opening up about many issues they face every day. Our conversations began with the book but quickly leapt to much deeper discussions about fear, love, anger, bullying, prejudice, hate. Our Christian faith always entered as a model for decision making and acting. The christian parallel of love that runs through the entire Harry Potter series often ignites these Christian connections.
I wrote this book so that other parents would get a chance to experience these discussions. I wanted parents who are leary to see the potential of reading these books with their children. In A Parent's Guide to Harry Potter, I explain how Harry Potter fits into the fairy tale genre and how fairy tales often help children release their fears. Additionally, I pull out some of the real issues in Harry Potter and provide sample questions that could be used to begin discussions. Most importantly, I show parents that these books aren't about magic at all, rather they show that magic does not solve problems. It is love that saves snd protects Harry. It is love that continues to help him prevail in the battle of good and evil--not magic. | | | | Great for all parents! Nov 12, 2005 |
| I picked up this book to try and figure out why there is a controversy surrounding Harry Potter. I found it very well written, to the point, and a major resource for parents who are looking for a guide to talk about all literature with their children. Yes, there is a Christian slant to the book, but if you are not Christian many of the discussion points about good v. evil, love, overcoming conflict, etc - are relevant to everyone's lives. | | | | Excellent Resource for Parents Aug 29, 2005 |
| Finally! Here is an excellent resource parents can use to explore and ENJOY the wealth of important topics their children are engaging in Harry Potter. The questions in each chapter make it easy to go from reading together to discussing thoughts, feelings, aversion of evil and aspirations toward goodness. Easy to read, easy to use, solidly academic and carefully considered by a sincere Christian parent. This book can enrich families of faith and those for whom faith is not the central issue. | | | | Well written, easy to read Jul 17, 2005 |
| This is a very well written, easy to read book with very helpful insights. Including questions that lead to constructive, faithful discussions with children about the Harry Potter series books. I highly recommend this book to anyone with children. | | | Write your own review about A Parent's Guide To Harry Potter
