Abstract

Harry Potter series written by English female writer J.K. Rowling has enjoyed great popularity around the globe for several years. As one of the themes of the story, the conflict between justice and evil is by its nature the question of blood—pure magical blood, half-blood and non-magical blood. The main characters with distinguishing features are representatives of different social classes. Focusing on the blood issue, the essay discusses social hierarchy in the novels by analyzing the family backgrounds, personal statuses and ideologies of characters, in order to figure out the author’s intention and the practical social meaning of the series.
