Feminist reading of Harmione’s character in Harry Potter:

What is Feminism?

          Feminism is simply the quest for the equality of the sexes, yet it provokes strong reactions. Discover the history of the term and find out how the WLM developed and tackled some of the most fundamental feminist questions, such as what it means to be a woman.

          Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes.

Feminist reading of Hermione's character:

                      In this novel we find  feminist idea  through character Hermione Granger. Hermione one of the main character She was very strong character , reflects as a independent and intellectual girl rather than other two characters, Harry and Ron. She was good student and she capture thing very quickly . She belong to the 'Muggle-Blood', so she got insulted so many times by Melfoy.

2). Discourse on the purity of Blood and Harry Potter: How do the novels play with the thesis of pure blood (Master Race) giving an anti-thesis by belonging protagonists to half-blood / Mud-blood? What sort of synthesis is sought in this discourse in Harry Potter series?

According to Rowling, Love and Death both are major theme in the book She once stated, "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. I so understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We're all frightened of it."
Throughout the series, it becomes clear that death is not something to fear, but "life's next big adventure".


 The theme of Love and Death: How does Harry Potter make use of age old theme of Love of the dead as well as living as protecting armour? How does Harry Potter deal with the concept of Death as something inevitable?

J K Rowling's chosen spokespersons, Professor Dumbledore , impresses upon Harry that his “ability to love” is “the only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort’s.”

This theme will clearly form an important element in the final book. Harry has been saved from the start by love, the love of his mother (also, be it noted, with dark red hair, just like Ginny). Dumbledore has told him several times of the power of love .

 Discourse on the purity of Blood and Harry Potter: How do the novels play with the thesis of pure blood (Master Race) giving an anti-thesis by belonging protagonists to half-blood / Mud-blood? What sort of synthesis is sought in this discourse in Harry Potter series?

The term 'pure-blood' refers to a family or individual without Muggle (non-magic) blood. The concept is generally associated with Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, whose aversion to teaching anybody of Muggle parentage eventually led to a breach with his three fellow founders, and his resignation from the school.
Concept of purity of blood  is present in the Harry Potter.

Three concept here

1  Pure Blood 

2 Half Blood

3. Mud Blood

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are  Mud -blood. Ron Weasley is a pure blood. Draco Malfoy is also pure blood. Where as evil Voldemort is Mud Blood but craving for pure blood.
important thing is that they are equally or sometimes more powerful in magic than Pure blood. so, definitely it leads us to think that what should be criteria to judge the people - Race/ blood or merit?.

At the same time we have to keep in mind that Rowling is not despising Pure blood. Voldemort is evil and he is also mud blood. if writer make Voldemort as a pure blood, then definitely it is problematic.Witches and wizards consider themselves superior than non-magic people or non-human species like elves and giants. This act again shows racism working within the magical world. 

Thank you...
