Moral and Philosophical Reading of Harry Potter



As a Children’s literature Harry Potter is full of moral lessons. One of very important moral lesson is to distinguish between good and evil. At every step of life, it will ask person to make choice and based on those choices our future depends. So morally good choices helps people. As in the friendship Hermione and Ron made choice to be defeated in the chess and let Harry win, because he has to complete the task. Harry also saves Malfoy from the fire and that was his moral choice. Harry can’t ignore it. It his personality to help others.

If we talk about philosophy, then the most important lesson was to fight with our self. It is said that when we are constantly looking in to the dark then darkness is also peeping inside us. Same has happened with Harry. He is constantly in the connection with Voldemort, if not physically then mentally. But while fighting with evil, evil has made impact on goodness of Harry. We can see sometimes evil is over powering the goodness of Harry. So the evil breeds evil. Very unknowingly also but Voldemort has left his part of soul in to Harry also and that part is over powering goodness of Harry sometimes. Here where Harry needs to fight. This fight is not with others, it is with his own self. This can be applicable to all. No one is thoroughly good or thoroughly bad, people are both. They should keep balance between both. When one is over powering the other one needs to fight with one’s own self.
