There may be others, like me, who are putting together introductory thoughts on the basis for tort law for first year students, and who would find this a good resource for sparking discussion: Scott Hershovitz, "Harry Potter and the Trouble with Tort Theory" (October 5, 2010). Empirical Legal Studies Center. Working Paper 26. http://law.bepress.com/umichlwps/empirical/art26 (from the University of Michigan Legal Working Paper Series). Nice thought experiment critiquing both economic explanations for tort law and aspects of "corrective justice". And I love the idea of Harry leaving Hogwarts to go to a US Law School as a "1L" (though I can't help but observe he would surely have been more likely to try somewhere closer to home!)
