Mapping the World of Harry Potter (edited by Mercedes Lackey)

Long subtitle: Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors Explore the Bestselling Fantasy Series of All Time.

In typical multiple-contributor format, this is a little uneven. However, some of them are good: the one that discusses Hermione and sexism is wonderful, and "The Proper Wizard's Guide to Good Manners" is hysterical.

Worth the time to scan, but only if you've read most of the Harry Potter books. If you haven't read them all, there's a lot here that will either confuse you or spoil the rest of the stories.
