Kashrus Hakishuf S. Y. Zeitlin

Much has been written about J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, and it is inevitable that much more will continue to be written. There is something about Harry Potter that captures and captivates, a feeling of timelessness and reality in spite of its obvious fantastical origins. The aim of Kashrus Hakishuf is to look at some of the many inconsistencies, discontinuities, and errors present in the Harry Potter series and discuss them through the lens of Torah Judaism. Kashrus Hakishuf explore such various topics as: Hogwarts and Religion; Anthony Goldstein: A Yid in Hogwarts; Shichrur of House-Elves; The Deathly Hallows: Magic Mid'oraisa; the Fidelius Charm: Gavrah or Cheftzah? Also included are sections on plotholes and textual changes, as well as a unique Scriptural Synopsis of the entire Harry Potter series.
