The Lightning-Struck Tower:
The Conversation Between Albus Dumbledore and Draco Malfoy
The Lightning-Struck Tower is a bonus piece of analysis about the momentous conversation between the two subjects of Irvin’s books, Albus Dumbledore and Draco Malfoy.
The chapter “The Lightning-Struck Tower” from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one of the most intricately and elegantly written parts of the entire Harry Potter series. Having spent years analyzing this scene from both characters’ perspectives, Irvin dives deep into the text to provide further insight about this riveting set piece.
This mini-book will break down the words used to illustrate Dumbledore’s rhetorical strategy; consider lines that were removed in the editing process and what can be gleaned from them; and elaborate on the themes at work and the artistry of J.K. Rowling’s writing. Backed up by thorough research, this will leave readers with new understanding and appreciation of the climactic scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Note that attendees at the CONjuration will get a free print copy of this piece when they buy a copy of either Dumbledore or Malfoy!
