With the new Harry Potter film garnering excellent reviews from critics and moviegoers alike, the Los Angeles Jewish Journal has published an interesting article about the film’s connection to Judaism.  Many of the actors in the film have Jewish roots, prominent among them Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, Jason Isaacs, and Helena Bonham-Carter; David Heyman, the producer, also has Jewish ancestry.

For another interesting Judaism/Harry Potter parallel, check out this article published in Time Magazine last year.
