“Hogwarts is home. I have never climbed its marble staircase or eaten breakfast in its candle-lit Great Hall, but since I was eight years old, a part of me has lived within its walls. I shared my childhood with Harry Potter, poring over the well-worn pages of J.K. Rowling’s novels and forming lasting friendships on spontaneous debates about his adventures and his world. When I proudly declare that I am part of the “Harry Potter generation,” I don’t simply mean that I grew up during the period that these seven books were published, but that my life for as long as I have known, and possibly for a long time to come, has been shaped and strengthened by this series…”
—Rhiannon Thomas: “Hogwarts is Home,” from Parabola, Volume 36, No 4., Winter 2011: “Many Paths, One Truth.”

A parabola is one of the most dynamic forms in nature. It is the curve of a bowl, the path of a ball soaring upward and down to earth again. The founder of this magazine decided it was a good name for a journal devoted to the search for meaning, which often goes outward, then back home again along a different path.
