About the Book

REVIEW: "AN AMAZING NEW BOOK ABOUT HARRY POTTER...THIS BOOK DOES MORE, GOES DEEPER, TELLS MORE, EXPLAINS MORE, FINDS OUT MORE: IN SHORT, THIS BOOK TAKES OFF WHERE [JOHN]GRANGER ENDS...I WAS ENORMOUSLY IMPRESSED. ELEPHANTINELY IMPRESSED...BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS THE BEST HARRY POTTER IN-DEPTH UNCOVER-ALL-THE-SECRETS-THE-AUTHOR-TRIED-TO-HIDE BOOK EVER."--AMERICAN CHESTERTON SOCIETY, 25 Nov. 2008____ **Book Description**: In summer 2007, the collective tension was palpable. One by one, legions of breathless fans reached the bittersweet end of the Harry Potter series: rewarded for years of patience, yet experiencing odd combinations of relief and grief, satisfaction with ravenous pining, and often wondering, 'Is that really all there is?' --- Well.... That just depends on how you look at it. --- While J.K. Rowling confirmed that her Harry Potter series has concluded, she also expressed her intent that the Harry Potter books not be fully understood at first reading: not at all. Considering Rowling's cleverness, it would be sad - and also wrong - to think that knowing the crescendo of Deathly Hallows' Chapters 32-36 also means we've fully deciphered absolutely everything in the preceding 4000 pages. Far from it! Beyond the humor, adventure, snogging, red herrings, and even the deaths, Rowling's many-layered series still contains veiled intricacies and misunderstood themes eagerly waiting to be savored with fresh insight. Many of Harry's greatest accomplishments and secrets remain virtually unnoticed by vast multitudes of readers... even some of Rowling's brightest fans. Of course, that isn't an insult to the fans, but rather, a compliment to the genius of Harry's author. J.K. Rowling has scattered a myriad of clues that illuminate Harry's secrets and fly in the face of various criticisms, but her growing plethora of hints could take several years of study--- Not to worry. --- A Harry Potter fan herself since 1999, author Nancy Solon Villaluz spent five years doing exactly that. Rather than rushed conjectures and opinions, inside 'Does Harry Potter Tickle Sleeping Dragons?' you will feast on the fruit of 5 years of passionate research and accurately honed insights and plunge into a challenging, in-depth analysis of all seven (7) of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, her companion books, and her influences. Dull? Never! Bring your imagination along as the unique narrative of 'Does Harry Potter Tickle Sleeping Dragons?' leaves the typical model of dry study and insightfully takes readers on a thought-provoking metaphorical journey of literary exploration. Travel paths, dodge dragons, and have tea in this witty nonfiction commentary as you daringly tackle the deeper mysteries of Hogwarts 'Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus' (Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon) school motto, examine oodles of compelling evidence, and are guided beyond the warm shallows of J.K. Rowling's world into the hidden depths of Harry's richness. Many will be stunned by the scholarly discoveries within, others might even be offended; but how many suspect the veritable banquet quietly lingering right in Harry's own pages... just waiting for anyone brave enough to approach the Sleeping Dragons' lair. Do you dare come along? --- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Nancy Solon Villaluz would rather not 'prattle on' about herself; she feels that any Lockhart-ish claims made here would only cause her readers a few headaches -- and perhaps even a bit of nausea. Instead, she prefers to focus on her goal of lavishly informing her readers on the subject of Harry. (A much better goal than crowing about oneself too much; wouldn't you agree?) But please make sure you've got your wits about you when you venture in: 'Does Harry Potter Tickle Sleeping Dragons?' will fearlessly take you into Harry Potter's books as you've never been before! **Please note: this book is not authorized by J.K. Rowling, her publishers, or Warner Bros. and is solely for literary analysis, criticism, and commentary.**
