THE LAW IN HARRY POTTER

Rights Holder : Enrick B Editions
Original Language : French

How legal are the laws established by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter universe?

• Is the Unbreakable Vow a contract like any other?

• Does the Wizengamot respect the principle of contradiction?

• Do the provisions in the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy have limited impact?

• Is resorting to the Unforgivable Curses during the Battle of Hogwarts acceptable?

More than serving as mere background to the aventures of a young wizard and his friends, the magical world of Harry Potter reveals an entire community that disposes of its own habits and customs, legislation, institutions and governing bodies, methods for settling dispute and mechanisms for imposing sanctions.

This work edited by Valère Ndior and Nicolas Rousseau presents the discreet aspects that are easily overlooked in the Harry Potter series in order to reveal the legal magic throughout its pages. The contributors bring together French law, British law, international law and the fictional law created by J.K. Rowling so that the reader can discover a new level of richness in the series.

Valère Ndior is a law professor at the l'Université de Bretagne occidentale, specializing in international common law.

Nicolas Rousseau is an Inspector of Public Finances and a professor of common law.
