 Rowling as Moralist, by Catherine M Wallace from the Reviews category on CatherineMWallace.com
Rowling taps into that eagerness and sets her readers loose on a question that is as good as questions get: who or what is evil, and who or what is good, and how can we be sure we have sorted correctly?
Rowling's moral vision of our common humanity, like her narrative style, is in some distinctive ways pre-modern in its honest, confident optimism about human nature.
Rowling's fine craftsmanship as a narrative moralist comes to a single clear point: the first-fruits of suffering and exclusion can be compassion and resilience, not rage and revenge.
