Continuing my list of what I find within the Harry Potter series, I wish to include Encyclopedia Brown (The Boy Detective Who Lived?). Other than EB being a boy detective, I do not remember much of these tales that I read thirty years ago. One cannot ignore the detective-story aspects of Harry Potter. One of the pleasures of re-reading the series is discovering all of the hints and foreshadows offered up by J. K. Rowling within not only individual books, but throughout the entire series. I will share such discoveries in this blog, but welcome everyone to share theirs as well.
Any direct correlations between Encyclopedia Brown and Harry? Any other detective stories or characters from children's literature applicable? Let us save Sherlock Holmes for later.
