“Do the Hippogriff” // The Weird Sisters

Helping a friend try to find music a 10 year old would like is… challenging. But in trying to think of songs, I remembered this one, and seriously, who wouldn’t love this song? It’s awesome! And Jarvis Cocker and Jonny Greenwood!

caraobrien: selchieproductions: jesuisperdu:nprfreshair: Prof. Henry Jenkins writing about “Harry Potter Activism,” which draws on the series to get Harry Potter fans involved with social issues: “This is a powerful new model for getting young people involved in the political process.” J.K. Rowling is just a hippie taking on the Man. Okay, seeing as I’m a leading Swedish HP academic (hell yeah, that’ll be my title from now on), what with my articles and essays on Harry Potter, I think this is a brilliant idea. Harry Potter is, as all fantasy novels (whether placed in our world, a parallel universe or in an entire dimension entirely) a reworking of the archetypal ‘Hero With a Thousand Faces’, but at the same time the Harry Potter novels can be seen as an allegory describing the terrors of the second World War. Other issues addressed in the novels include feminism, sexism, gender stereotypes, racism, bullying, class differences and so on, all brilliantly attacked by J.K. Rowling, but, working within the framework of a children’s novel, J.K. Rowling cannot fully let her characters work against the established roles of the Western didactic children’s novel, and consequently she ends up with a set of characters whom all, despite their superficial revolutionary take on the genre, both reinforces and destabilises the image of the stereotypical stay-a-home mum, the unwilling hero, the class differences between rich and poor, and the illusion of an ‘us‘ and a ‘them’, as exemplified by the Durmstrang students disability to speak proper English, or the French wizards inability to pronounce Harry as anything but ‘Arry’.  ^Why the Harry Potter series is an absolute favorite of mine.  View high resolution

Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

“
So why do I talk about the benefits off failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might have never found the determination to succeed in the one arena where I believed I truly belonged.
J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, from her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association.  (via poptech)
