** COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED ** Leading psychologists delve into the world and characters of Harry Potter in this revealing look at J. K. Rowling's constructed universe, using the characters and their puzzling situations to offer insight into real-world psychology.

Every major area of psychology is covered as the contributors tackle such heady questions as "Is Harry a cranky adolescent or suffering from real post-traumatic-stress disorder?" "Is Voldemort evil incarnate or a misguided boy now twisted beyond recognition?" and "Is Snape treacherous or struggling for redemption?, "revealing the fictional world's complex psychological brew.
