This academic examination of the Harry Potter series explores how J.K. Rowling uses her magical world to reflect real-world social injustices, particularly regarding gender inequality and the treatment of magical creatures. Through thoughtful analysis, the book demonstrates how Rowling not only highlights these problems but also suggests meaningful ways to overcome them, making it a fascinating resource for older readers interested in literature, social justice, and critical thinking.
Examination Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Duisburg-Essen (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: In this thesis I want to show that the social injustices present in the magical world of Harry Potter mirror our own society’s problems. Furthermore, it will be shown that these injustices are not only part of the wizarding world, but that Rowling uses her books to suggest how to overcome these problems. This hypothesis will be discussed with the help of two examples of oppression: the oppression of women and the subjugation of magical creatures.
