At Barnes and Nobel University, an online learning environment from the bookstore, parents and fans can take a class about Harry Potter:

Is your child a Pottermaniac? Then he or she shares a common bond with millions of other readers around the world. The popularity of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books offers parents an exceptional opportunity to share literature with their children. Using Beacham’s Sourcebooks for Teaching Young Adult Literature: Exploring Harry Potter, by Dr. Elizabeth D. Schafer, as a guide, this course will help you enrich your child’s reading experience as you investigate — together — the deeper layers of meaning in the first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. You’ll learn about science, mythology and legends, history, and magic as well as literary themes, symbols, and character development. Most important, as you look into Harry’s world, you’ll get a better look at how your child sees his or her own world.
