Studies shows that youths today read books less frequently than before. This is, in my opinion problematic. This study aims towards an understanding in how the Harry Potter novels can enrich the teaching in upper secondary school in Sweden in the education of religions and ethics, for students to reflect, and discuss different topics of value. The novels are incorporated with lots of good options for values, including the equal value of people, feminism and masculism and cultural racism. The study is made with help of narrative analysis. The results show that this book offers a lot of value in teaching situations and therefore the conclusion is that fantasy novels can be used to discuss problematic issues in society by using the different examples in the books as allegories.
