What exactly *is* the legacy of J.K. Rowling's boy wizard, and in what ways has the "Harry Potter" series transformed or transmuted the science fictional and fantastical landscape? In what ways have we, Rowling's readers, gone off-script and gone about making space for ourselves as newly minted adults and tastemakers and, yes, occasionally, as academics? And what about those prequels, that weird stage play, and all the other canon Potterverse ... things ... which have cropped up since the original series was published?

As you can imagine, we have a lot of questions about what the Boy Who Lived has gotten up to in the years since that last weird epilogue, and we have some thoughts on what he's done to a brance of genres and our brains and the publishing industry. 80s kids, this is not one to miss!
