8)The theme of Choice and Chance
9)The theme of Love and Death:
ANS:
Love and death are the major themes in J. k. Rowling's fantasy novel and she also said that these series all about death and love. She justifies her point by presenting the characters of Ron and Hermione who are in love from the very beginning even they are fighting with each other. Further, the love between Harry and Dumbledore, Lily's love for Harry, Harry's love for his friends, etc. In the other death also a crucial element in the novel. At the very beginning of the story, we heart that Harry's parents have died, and in due course, both we and Harry learn that they were murdered. The Shadow of death hangs over Harry; he learns that he, too, was intended to be a victim, but spared in a way no-one can explain. He narrowly escapes death again at the close of the first two books, and third is concerned with his pursuit by an escaped murderer. At the end of the fourth book, a school friend is killed before his eyes, and he himself barely escapes again. In the fifth book, he loses his newly regained godfather and in the sixth even his great and seemingly indestructible mentor, Dumbledore. Yes, death is a constant visitor to Harry's world.
10)Moral and Philosophical reading of Harry Potter:
ANS:
Normally, children's literature has the characteristics of a didactical story. The ultimate aim is to reflect the positive side of human life and the negative side as something to banish. The novel Harry Potter is one of them. There are characters like Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville and etc, represents the morally correct path. They all have philosophical reasons also to do things. In the end, we see that character like Malfoy needs to change his morality. Not only morality but philosophy too. Yes, for that he needs a good philosopher which he lacks. In contrast, Harry knows this all things quickly.
11)Christianity and Harry Potter Series:
ANS:
Christianity and Harry Potter series are not connected directly. Harry and his friends never visit any church in Novel. Or they never pray to God to save them from an evil spirit. It seems that J.K Rowling wants to discard Christianity from her novel.
But several glimpses of Christianity can be found in the novel such as Wizards celebrate the two major Christianity festivals, Easter and Christmas. Albus Dumbledore owned a copy of the Christian Bible. It is, therefore, possible he was a member of the Christian faith to some degree. However, given Dumbledore's worldliness, he may keep the copy out of a desire for knowledge and not out of his personal religious devotion.
12)What is your opinion on this:
'Harry Potter' series continues the argument for hardship and end of the religious /racial discrimination by making the half-blood and mud blood as protagonists over the pure blood. That is the reason why some people (Christians) can't accept these series. Rowing thought that it's an important message to the younger people that they should not believe what is said but cross-checking is important. They should question authority against wrongdoings as Harry does at Hogwarts. They also should not assume that establishments/ press tell the absolute truth. Generally, what comes in front of us through the press is not the truth but half-truth/ post-truth as Harry doesn't believe anything that comes in the newspaper about the Dumbledore but he said 'I trust the person whom I knew very well'. Through these series of Harry Potter, Rowling gives a strong message of political awareness and responsibility of younger people in politics/democracy.
