Description
Everyone loves a good love story, but when it comes to the characters in HP, much is lost in the journey towards the nebulous “Happy Ever After.” This interactive panel discussion looks at many of our favorite romantic pairings to question the gender roles, character development, plot devices and archetypical symbolism Rowling used to deconstruct the messages and highlight the broader social implications at work.
