Book 1 - 17: The Man with Two Faces & Dr Faustus

This week we consider how "Dr Faustus" (1592) by Christopher Marlowe speaks to Chapter of "Philosopher's Stone". We think about who is the most "Faustian" character - Quirrell or Voldemort? What does it mean to make a pack with the devil? We also ponder the idea of redemption and its relation to the judgement of good and evil. Thanks for coming on this literary journey with us!

Hello fellow readers, and welcome to Ravenclaw Readers! We’re veteran Harry Potter fans, Claire and Ella, along with first-time reader Paul. Join us as we explore Harry Potter in the literary tradition, chapter by chapter. Each week we read a Harry Potter chapter alongside a classic work of literature. We compare and contrast the major themes and narratives of these two texts, and dig deep into each HP chapter, to consider the insights gleaned when Harry Potter is read as part of a wide literary landscape.
