Abstract of Paper to be Presented at Accio 2008

The 'Harry Potter World' Morality as a Paradigm for the Muggle World

Eliana Cristina Ionoaia

The presentation will be focused on how the moral virtues of the Harry Potter books can be applied to the real world - both in our personal and professional lives - to make us well-rounded persons. The Stoic virtues of constancy, resolution, self-discipline, reason, empathy, solidarity and sacrifice will also be considered as guiding lights for the young readers of these books. Curiosity will also be discussed as sin and virtue, and as a triggering factor for adventure and knowledge.
