Muggles Practicing Magic: A Digital Ethnography of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text Podcast

Abstract

It is not uncommon for non-religious people to be drawn to some aspects of religion. There are many diferent religions with followings that are based on fction, both movies and novels. According to Wolfe (2015), a few of these include: Jediism, based on the Star Wars trilogies, Dudeism, based on The Big Lebowski, and The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who refer to themselves as Pastafarians. The Pastafarians are known to have fought for religious rights to be able to practice their religion as freely as those of any other religion. This is an example of a group of people who are interested in an aspect of religion outside of any "God" a religion might be centered around.
