Film and T.V.

Discusses the timeless popularity of the "Harry Potter" book series by J. K. Rowling as it appeals not only to the generation that saw its first release but also to the millennial generation who continue to patronize it. The "Harry Potter" generation are imbued with specific characteristics including being more emphatic and less likely to be prejudiced, has a dislike of U.S. President Donald Trump, and politically left-leaning. The impact of the book on readership is mentioned.

The early 2000s represented a particular moment in thinking about the possibilities, risks and threats of gender relations in Western countries. This was overwhelmingly represented by a discourse of crisis and loss in relation to boyhood and a discourse of hope in relation to girlhood. These films reflect the tensions and contradictory readings of the new cultural politics of gender in the early 2000s, drawing on many of the discourses present in academic discussions about young people's gendered identities. We show how an analysis of ‘coming of age’ films offers a lens for examining the cultural politics of gender and education, and for reflecting on social change and the perceptions and anxieties that this brings.
