Harry Potter

- ‘Harry Potter’ as children literature.

          We can see the elements or features of children literature in this book Harry Potter so we can say not complete but some features of it. In children’s literature we can find points as under,

-         Main character is children.

-         World of fantasy rather than real.

-         It gives moral lesson.

-         We can find many curious things.

-         Happy ending, etc.

So, we can see these all points in Harry Potter. Harry is main character, we can see magic and unreal things, in every part we can find some moral lesson, there are some curious things like snakes are speaking and many others, And it also end happily. So we can find so many features of children literature but it not mean that it is not good literature or not qualitative literature. We can also see this type of movie in Hollywood like ‘Abra ka dabra’.

- Theme of love and death

          Generally in today’s world meaning of love is so narrow, it not means that love between husband and wife. But here love considered in broader sense love between two people or human beings. In ‘Harry Potter’ love saves many time to Harry for example when he was child at that time his mother saves his life.

          Then other points are that Dumbledore said that if you sacrifice for others then help is already there. And we can see that Harry ready to die happily because of others happiness and that’s why he will be alive. So, we can say that he loves to others and that’s why so many people help him.

- Moral and philosophical reading in Harry Potter

          We can see that ‘evil breeds evil’ it means in Gujarati ‘jer j jer ne mare’. Harry is able to talking with snakes because he is one of the horcruxes. And he is able to read the mind of Voldemort because of this reason. Many times he behaves like evil. So he can kill the evil god of Voldemort. Then one point is that death remains for cleanser and so for while he died and then once again he back. So all the evil things cleaned by his death, then he become good person. We can also see the moral points like love to everyone; sacrifice is good things, etc.

          So, after all we can see some points related with moral and philosophical points.
