Don’t Miss Muggles & Magic at the Libraries
If you’re on the Seattle campus, stop by for a glimpse into the world of Harry Potter & friends in “Muggles & Magic” at Suzzallo and Allen libraries. Browse the displays and see how the books have been celebrated, studied, and even banned.

Peruse the covers in multiple languages and get a sampling of scholarly writing on Hogwarts and beyond—one writer believes the series cultivates tolerance in young people by its representation of various groups, and one scholar comments on Hermione’s and Professor McGonagall’s intelligence through a feminist lens. Games, social events, and even a college Quidditch league inspired by the books are all represented here.
