Who Is Harry Potter

Frans Lutters has been a Waldorf teacher in Holland since 1983. As a high school teacher he has watched the persistent popularity of the Harry Potter character, books, and movies for over twenty years not only in the United Staets but also in Holland and around the world. His natural enthusiasm about literature and its place in developing capacities in the young for discernment, morality, idealism and courage led him to a deeper pondering of this recent phenomenon. His books in English, "The Grail Mysteries and the Seven Liberal Arts," and "Exploration into the Destiny of the Waldorf School Movement," reflect his capacity for imagination and philosophy. His investigations bring new light to events in history and to the efficacy of Waldorf education.
