# Hermione granger a third
wave feminist
# Harry potter at some level antifeminist much of the story does deal
with women helping Harry and other children grow up, which could be
considered antifeminist by having women spend much efforts taking care of
others and not themselves. Hermione, Molly they always busy in to helping
others
#"the feminist notion of a social order [is one] free from
hierarchy and exclusion, [thus] the hierarchical nature of the fantasy world
and its exclusiveness [are] inherently anti-feminist ideals.
feminism is not one gender over another; it’s being who you are
rather than fitting into a mold.

wizarding world that distinguishes between family trees that have different
levels of magically-endowed members
The term ‘pure-blood’ refers to a family or individual without Muggle
(non-magic) blood

# There is no freedom of expression in sharing once view in newspaper
as well to choose there Minister for example: Almost everyone in the
wizarding world, and most of JK Rowling’s readers, agree that Dumbledore
would have made an infinitely better Minister for Magic than Cornelius Fudge.
After the mistake of appointing Fudge, you would hope that choosing the new
Minister would be done carefully and by at least consulting the wizarding
community – after all
Everything is in control of the ministry of magic as they are in the
power thus we may say that State power has to be strong enough to enforce the
law without being so strong that we have reason to fear the State – in
fiction and in reality.
“You should question authority and you should not assume that the
establishment or the press tells you all of the truth.” 4 Rowling wants to
say that politics has become a part of modern life, but it is the root of all
problems, not solutions.
Everything is in the hands of
them. Like
The
ministry of magic is the law making body in Harry’s wizarding world. Its main
job is to keep the whole world of magic a secret from the muggle’s eyes.
Restriction magic use and under age prohibition of magic use is very clearly
stated in the novels

loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever."

Arts and even death, evident in Lily Potter's sacrifice.

him and Voldemort

death is a constant visitor to Harry’s world.
Rowling offers a number of reflections on death and its meaning. like
its irreversible.
J.K.Rowling is quoted to have said:
“My books are largely about death. They open with the death of
Harry’s parents. There is Voldemort’s obsession with conquering death and his
quest for immortality at any price, the goal of anyone with magic…”
