Harry Potter and the methods of rationality
The plot covers the first year of Harry Potter's studies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and draws on events from the original books. The discrepancy with the original lies in the background: the adoptive mother of the protagonist, Petunia Evans, marries a university professor, as a result of which Harry grows up in a loving family and receives a good education. By the beginning of the book, the protagonist knows the methods of scientific knowledge of the world and is ready to critically evaluate the events and to apply the scientific method in the study of magic.
The book contains cultural references to dozens of works in the genres of science fiction and fantasy, anime, games. There are parody elements that criticize the decision of the original book.
The conflict between good and evil is pictured in the book as a conflict between knowledge and ignorance. At the same time, the book affirms the value of human life and explains to the reader what it is to be rational and how to become more rational.
