Potter 101
The Mankato, Minnesota Free Press has an interesting article about a local professor who teaches a class about Harry Potter at Minnesota’s South Central College.
“This is the first literature class where people have actually read the books before hand,” the professor, Kirstin Cronn-Mills, said.
In the class they not only discuss Rowling’s books, analysing the plots, inconsistencies, clues, and predicting how the series will end, but they also study the films and merchandising.
Does this sound fun or what? I would kill to take this class. Actually wishing I lived in Minnesota right now. Weird.

Sounds awesome. You should try and talk your professor into offering some sort of online video version. I’m sure there would be lots of signups.
