Your case-making paper explores a particular issue or pursues a question raised in the Harry Potter series; it requires close, careful reading of the novels themselves, substantial research of your topic and of the work others have done with the Harry Potter series, and a clear explanation of why your topic is important to us in the real world.
You will locate and use a range of sources. Your essay’s sources will include at least
- three of the Harry Potter novels
- two scholarly sources that address your chosen issue
- two popular, yet credible, sources that help you understand or illustrate the issue.
