"Nu ne temem niciodată de vag, ci doar de precis. Îmi imaginez un omuleț care îmbracă o togă și care îmi rostește sentința. Totul aici e precis: judecătorul, vina, sentința. Răspunderea mea este de asemenea precisă, dar e mică, iar consecințele nu sunt ultime. Și totuși teama mea e teribilă și fac tot ce pot pentru a nu ajunge în fața omulețului în togă. Stăm față în față cu viața noastră sau cel care ne-a făcut concesia libertății. Totul aici e vag: judecătorul, vina, sentința."

This book challenges that oversight, assembling and foregrounding some of the best literary critical work by scholars trying to move the needle on these novels to reflect their importance to twenty-first-century literary culture. In Open at the Close, contributors consciously address Harry Potter primarily as a literary phenomenon rather than a cultural one.
