Guest: Neil Randall, Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada Today is Harry Potter’s birthday. If Dobby is up to his tricks, the Boy Who Lived may not hear from his friends, but millions of people around the world are thinking of him. Harry’s story strikes chords with contemporary issues and with readers too, and that’s why you’ll find entire classes taught about the series at universities across the country.  English professor Neil Randall teaches one such course at the University of Waterloo.
