Emma Round and the Holy Rowlings (Heretics in Occupied Eden)

Emma Round became smitten with the Boy Who Lived when she was nine, at the same time discovering a guiding vision for her life in Hermione Granger. By high school she had become a prize-winning Harry Potter geek. For a comparative religions assignment in college, Emma designed a church that used J. K. Rowling's novels as its Bible, and friends urged her to turn that school project into a real congregation. However intriguing the idea might be on paper, Emma knew that bringing the Holy Rowlings to life would be complicated. But motivated by a traumatic experience in her teens and with the wit and courage of her role model Hermione, Emma took up the challenge of transforming herself from Potter geek into Hallowed Philosopher. This seventh volume in the HERETICS IN OCCUPIED EDEN series connects with characters from the earlier novels but may be enjoyed without having read any of the previous books, especially by serious Potterheads. The story chronicles and pays tribute to the Millennial generation, those who were children when they discovered Harry Potter and who grew up eagerly awaiting the release of each new book in the series. As such, it is accessible to people of all ages who have not read Rowling's work, although they will certainly encounter spoilers. Those familiar with the Potterverse will recognize abundant allusions to it, get the jokes, and absorb a wealth of trivia, literary lore, and obscure information.
