Word Magic: Defining Harry Potter’s World

Saturday June 16, 2018 12:30 pm to 1:20 pm

With the continual release of Rowling's new supplementary materials, it’s the perfect time to revisit what makes Harry Potter so enchanting. In this lecture, I will examine the effect and importance of the magical words in the Harry Potter series in relation to the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, and how Rowling's development and integration of them affects both Harry and the reader's experience.
