From Godric's Hollow to King's Cross: Theology in Harry Potter
With Sarah Borden
February 13th, 2025 | 6 p.m. | 128 Chancellor St.
Join us for a fascinating lecture and dinner with Sarah Borden as she explores a 'catechetical' reading of the Harry Potter series through the lens of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.
Borden will argue that the books provide a theological framework, with key locations corresponding to the original, fallen, redeemed, and glorified states of creation, deepening our understanding of faith and storytelling.
