Billone explores the concept of a dreamchild in children's literature, explicitly pointing to the five types of dreams that appear in the Harry Potter series. She asks, in the light of Alice's need to reject fantasy in order to grow up and Peter's ability to reject growing up in favor of fantasy, whether the Harry Potter series posits a new perspective on the ability of girls to participate comfortably in fantasy worlds. She concludes that these books both "eliminate gender stereotypes" by creating a hero who draws both on feminine and masculine models, and also "confirms them" by giving only male characters an ability to fully participate in a dream world. |
