Annotated Bibliography
Topic: Slavery and the House Elves
Baggett, David, Shawn Klein and William Irwin. Harry Potter and Philosophy. NA: Open Court Publishing, 2004.
This book is about are about the insights to the different characters and what would the school be like if Aristotle ran Hogwarts. The part that I would use would be where they are talking about Ron explaining how house elves enjoy doing their jobs. I will have the students read the rational of these two authors and think about how that would transfer over to African slaves.
Books, Wiki. “Muggles Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf”. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles, 1.
This website is a general overview of what a house elf is and what their job is in the wizarding world. I plan on using this site to show that you can start with a generalization and cross- reference the information with other sources. I am using this site specifically because there are things on this site that are not as reliable as others.
.Com, HP Proogs. “Episode 28: SPEW- A House Elves Podcasts”. http://www.hpprogs.com/2007/04/11/episode-28-spew-in-this-a-house-elves-podcast/, NA.
This website allows people to read or navigate to the podcast about the house elves. I think that I would play a few relevant parts for the class; while they were looking on with their copies of what was being said. I think that podcasts do have a good reason to be used in the classroom because they do get students more intent in what they are learning and more eager to figure out how this fits with the classroom.
Douglas and Seward. “Senator Douglas on Slavery, States Rights, Senator Seward on Popular Sovereignty, and Territorial Expansion”. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?, 1-2.
This was an article that was written in the New York Times in 1858 with the southern senator supporting slavery by using the excuse of states rights. The northern senator, in this articles, was talking about the U.S.’ territorial expansion and the need for people that live in that state to decide whether there will be slavery or not. I am going to use this article to show students why the question of slavery mattered to the government; and the big split between the northern and southern perspectives.
Epstein, David G. and Gizelle Liza Anatol. Reading Harry Potter: Critical Essays. NA: Greenwood Publishing Group, 2003.
This book looks critically at the Harry Potter series and analyzes: themes, characters, attitudes towards life. In the attitudes that people have in life about slavery is where I would use the book, so students realize that societal problems can be found in modern day literature. Does that mean the information is put there deliberately? There is a section that I would use that compares Doby, the house elf, to the slaves coming from Africa. Also, where Winky is compared to slaves that are set free and do not understand freedom because they have been forced into slavery for most or all of their lives.

The leaky lounge has a lot of site, links, and discussion boards. I would use this to show students how a discussion board works and people’s opinions of matters such as slavery do count. I will also use this site to get my students to post something about Harry Potter and the house elves life’s of slavery. I will also remind them hear that history was written by a person, so there is always an underlining perspective written within the history of any event.
Morgan, Edmund S. “Slavery and Freedom: The American Paradox”. The Journal of American History, 59 (June 1972): 5- 29.
This article is about how the United States used the free labor of African slaves to build a new and separate nation from the British. The new leaders of America knew that they needed to have a solid economy to ensure the freedom of the country; and they did this by the free labor of indentured servants, but mostly slaves. I will use this article to show that there were people that were willing to defend the idea of slavery and the necessity of the slaves in America to ensure American freedom from Britain.
Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Broadway, NY: Scholastic Incorporated, 2007.
This was the last book in the Harry Potter series where Harry Potter finally beats Voldemort for good. However, the parts that I would use from the book would be from chapter ten, in the beginning Harry Potter was ordering the house elf to say certain things and do certain things because he belonged to Harry Potter. The house elf was handed down through the Black family to Harry’s godfather; and when Harry’s godfather died, the house elf became his. Essentially, the house elf, which was a living being, was considered a piece of property.
Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Broadway, NY: Scholastic Incorporated, 2003.
This was the book that came after Harry won the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric was killed by Voldemort, and Harry tried to warn the wizarding world that Voldemort was back and his Death Eaters were becoming active. However, the parts that I would use would be when Sirius was treating Kretcher, the house elf, like he was property to do his bidding. I would also use parts where Ron explained to Harry and Hermione that house elves liked serving their masters and Hermione getting mad at him. Then I would compare Hermione’s SPEW to the underground railroad.
Thwaites, Reuben Gold. The Colonies, 1492- 1750. NA: Longmans Green, 1890.
This book is about the beginning of colonization of what is now known as the United States. The part of the book that I will be focusing on will be how the first African slaves were treated when they came to the U.S. I want students to understand that slaves were not always treated badly or seen as property; the idea of slaves being property developed over time.
