[HPforGrownups] Has anyone dealt with this book?

No: HPFGUIDX 5681

I haven't read the book, but I know the name of Jack Zipes.  He is quite a renowned expert of the use of fairy tales who teaches here at
the University of Minnesota.  I know that the local chapter of the Mythopoeic Society was discussing one of his other books recently.

I have not read his work and cannot comment, but I believe he has a good academic reputation.  I remember hearing him speaking on NPR
once about mythic literature.

I don't have any idea what his beef is with HP or how it fits into his other analysis of myth.  I probably would agree with what he has
to say (based on reading this blurb here) about the harm caused by the homogenization of myth wrecked by Disney.
