Publisher's Synopsis
Why is there so much food in the Potterverse? How do Chocolate Frogs and Butterbeer help readers join Harry as he enters the Wizarding world? Furthermore, how do fans use food to share their love of "Harry Potter" and to socialize in the Muggle world? To properly read the Harry Potter series, one must put on any number of glasses and peer through different lenses by combining multiple fields of inquiry and scholarship. My lens just happens to be food and culture. This book explores the connection between food in the Potterverse and the fans who love the series.
