Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine in Harry Potter's World
October 22, 10:00am
In 1997, British author J.K. Rowling introduced readers to the magical world of Harry Potter. Since then, millions have been captivated by Harry’s journey. The magic woven throughout the series draws inspiration from Renaissance-era traditions that helped shape the foundation of modern Western science—such as alchemy, astrology, and natural philosophy.
Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine in Harry Potter’s World delves into these historical influences through the lens of the National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine collection.
