I would love to read an essay comparing Dumbledore and Harry with the Fisher King and Percival of the Holy Grail myths.  These interconnect with the Room of Requirement, the Mirror of Erised, and the locked Department of Mysteries room as well as Harry's upcoming search for the horcruxes.  Very facinating stuff!

Ooo, definitely! That sounds very interesting.. and also the proper classification of a hero, or villain in the HP series, sort of thing. And, like in Obscurus, what makes Voldemort a villian, and Harry a hero.

So many great ideas!  Can't wait!

How about the use of HUMOR in the Harry Potter series??
 We've experienced ironic humor, slapstick humor, even clearly satiric humor.  

 Perhaps an exploration of the use of comic relief in the books?

I can't guess how many times I found myself literally laughing out loud whilst reading!

I would like to see some lighter, funnier ones. A good example would be: There was a thread about if JKR had it in for good looking guys. That would make a great one!

I agree, not everyone has to be about heroes and anti heroes, good and evil etc.

Speaking of light, how about "fashion in the wizarding world"? lol (Or will that be difficult seing that they wear cloaks..a lot? :ponder:  hehe)

Thank you for pointing me to this thread by the way firephoenix, I should have known that there was a thread for discussing essay topics already :forehead:

There was a thread a LONG time ago called "How Did Harry Find Out About the Birds and the Bees?" or something like that. That could be a lot of fun.

I'd like to see someone tackle the question of how and why Harry and LV both ended up with feathers from Fawkes in their wands, and what significance that could be to book 7.
