  • Many Faces of Albus Dumbledore in the Setting of Fan Writing
    MANY FACES OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN THE SETTING OF FAN WRITING: THE TRANSFORMATION OF READERS INTO “READER-WRITERS” AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THEIR PRESENCE IN THE AGE OF ONLINE FANDOM by Midori Fujita A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Children’s Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Midori Fujita, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the dynamic and changing nature of reader response in the time of online fandom by examining fan reception of, and response to, the character Dumbledore in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Using the framework of reader reception theory established by Wolfgang Iser, in particular Iser’s conception of textual indeterminacies, to construct my critical framework, this work examines Professor Albus Dumbledore as a case study in order to illuminate and explore how both the text and readers may contribute to the identity formation of a single character. The research examines twenty-one selected Internet-based works of fan writing. These writings are both analytical and imaginative, and compose a selection that illuminates what aspect of Dumbledore’s characters inspired readers’ critical reflection and inspired their creative re-construction of the original story. This thesis further examines what the flourishing presence of Harry Potter fan community tells us about the role technological progress has played and is playing in reshaping the dynamics of reader response. Additionally, this research explores the blurring boundaries between authors and readers in light of the blooming culture of fan fiction writing.

  • Harry Potter Et Les Mots Fantastiques : Comparaison Des Néologismes Du Septième Tome Chez Rowling Et Son Traducteur Français
    Harry Potter et les mots fantastiques : comparaison des néologismes du septième tome chez Rowling et son traducteur français by Sandra Justice Bachelor of Arts (Honours), University of Victoria, 2017 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of French ©Sandra Justice, 2020 University of Victoria All rights reserved.

Supervisory Committee Harry Potter et les mots fantastiques : comparaison des néologismes du septième tome chez Rowling et son traducteur français by Sandra Justice Bachelor of Arts (Honours), University of Victoria, 2017 Supervisory Committee Dr. Emmanuel Hérique, Supervisor Department of French Dr. Sada Niang, Second Reader Department of French ii Abstract This thesis examines the French translation of the 224 neologisms in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh book in J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series. By analyzing the original neologisms and their French equivalents, this research compares the word formation processes used by both the author and the translator, Jean-François Ménard. Additionally, to categorize Ménard’s translation techniques, this study adapts a framework designed by Jacqueline Henry to classify translations of word play. While Ménard uses the same types of word formation as Rowling to create his lexicon, this study reveals that he often chooses a different neological process or distinct lexemes to recreate the effect of the original neologism.

  • A Fiction-Based Religion Within the Harry Potter Fandom
    Religions 2014, 5, 219–267; doi:10.3390/rel5010219 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article ‘Snapewives’ and ‘Snapeism’: A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom Zoe Alderton Independent scholar; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 18 December 2013; in revised form: 6 February 2014 / Accepted: 11 February 2014 / Published: 3 March 2014 Abstract: The book and film franchise of Harry Potter has inspired a monumental fandom community with a veracious output of fanfiction and general musings on the text and the vivid universe contained therein. A significant portion of these texts deal with Professor Severus Snape, the stern Potions Master with ambiguous ethics and loyalties. This paper explores a small community of Snape fans who have gone beyond a narrative retelling of the character as constrained by the work of Joanne Katherine Rowling. The ‘Snapewives’ or ‘Snapists’ are women who channel Snape, are engaged in romantic relationships with him, and see him as a vital guide for their daily lives. In this context, Snape is viewed as more than a mere fictional creation. He is seen as a being that extends beyond the Harry Potter texts with Rowling perceived as a flawed interpreter of his supra-textual essence. While a Snape religion may be seen as the extreme end of the Harry Potter fandom, I argue that religions of this nature are not uncommon, unreasonable, or unprecedented. Popular films are a mechanism for communal bonding, individual identity building, and often contain their own metaphysical discourses. Here, I plan to outline the manner in which these elements resolve within extreme Snape fandom so as to propose a nuanced model for the analysis of fandom-inspired religion without the use of unwarranted veracity claims.

  • Vera Cuntz-Leng Harry Potter Transmedial1
    [Inhaltsverzeichnis] Vera Cuntz-Leng Harry Potter transmedial1 Abstract Harry Potter is a phenomenon of immense cultural and economic impact. It is defined by a texture of various media representations and adaptations: the novels, three spin-off books, a movie series of eight instalments, board and computer games, audio books, toys, other merchandise products, etc. How- ever, these manifestations have not been strictly transmedia in the way Henry Jenkins uses the term. He defines transmedia as a combination of radical intertextuality and multimodality. Further, Jenkins highlights the relevance of the consumer as an active participant, as hunter, gatherer, and world-builder. With the launch of the online platform Pottermore in April 2012, the Harry Potter franchise performed the transition towards transmediality in order to keep the product adjusted to the expectations of the participatory culture. Pottermore simultaneously provides an interactive literary, audio-visual, gaming, and social experience that both submerges the users in a narration they already know and constantly expands their knowledge of Harry’s magi- cal world. This sounds fantastic; there is only one problem: Pottermore does not deliver what it promises. The aim of this paper is the brief presentation of the mechanics of the Pottermore digital environment and their critical discus- sion in terms of realization of the transmedia concept, focussing on the regu- lating and moderating mechanisms of Pottermore in particular that rather alienate than engage long-time fans and new audiences alike—resulting in strong feelings of frustration and betrayal on the part of the fan-base and in Harry Potter’s decreasing impact to the next generation of potential readers.

  • Yer a Reader, Harry: HP Reread Podcasts As Digital Reading Communities
    . Volume 16, Issue 1 May 2019 Yer a reader, Harry: HP Reread Podcasts as digital reading communities Hannah McGregor, Simon Fraser University, Canada Abstract: The emergence of reread podcasts – in which hosts revisit a favourite book or series, inviting listeners to reread alongside them – offers insight into new digital reading communities that often emerge around active fandoms. Focusing on the popular sub-genre of Harry Potter reread podcasts, this paper asks what lessons these new reading communities can teach us about the practice of rereading, the capacity of podcasts to create new kinds of interactive publics, the link between podcasts and fan communities, and the roles these podcasts play in readers’ lives. Interactive and participatory yet structured around the expertise of the host, reread podcasts have the potential to become pedagogical and thus transformative online spaces. Keywords: Harry Potter; podcasts; fandom; rereading; reading communities The world of digital reading encompasses blogs, Goodreads pages, social media feeds and fan fiction archives – but a particularly understudied facet of contemporary digital reading is the ever-growing genre of reread podcasts. In this genre, hosts revisit a favourite book or series, inviting listeners to reread alongside them. While the hosts offer their own commentary, they also encourage response and engagement from listeners, framing themselves as both expert commentators and fellow readers – and, usually, fans. This paper considers the unique digital reading communities that have emerged around Harry Potter (HP) reread podcasts, including Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, Potterless Podcast, and my own podcast, Witch, Please. Writing from the perspective of a producer, a reader, a fan, and an academic – a member of this reading community in all ways – I’m interested in how reread podcasts frame the cultural role of the Harry Potter series while encouraging interactive and self-reflexive communities of interpretation.
