Hogwarts (Unofficial) Haggadah - by Rabbi Moshe Rosenberg

What could a School of Witchcraft and Wizardry possibly have in common with the most published book in Jewish history and the most celebrated holiday of the Jewish calendar? As it turns out, quite a lot. From the concepts of slavery and freedom, to the focus on education, to the number four, Harry Potter and Passover share almost everything. This book is the perfect companion for young and old at the Seder table. Enchant your guests with lessons from the magical realms of Hogwarts and Jewish tradition. Foster conversation with student responses to Seder questions. And learn the ultimate lesson: Holiness can be found everywhere, if you know where to look.

Traditional text appears in Hebrew and English, and includes commentary relating each part of the seder to something from Harry Potter. Among other parallels, the author speaks of the goblins’ ability to perform bittul hametz and the relationship and similarities between the four children and the four different Houses at Hogwarts.

The book concludes with thought and conversation-provoking essays about issues relatable to Harry Potter and his peers and the story of Passover.
