Harry Potter

 

Respected Sir,

1.   Feminist reading of Hermione’s character in Harry Potter: 

 Harmione is quite simple, beautiful, intelligent and brave girl yet J.K Rowling has not given main role. Perhaps J. K. Rolling willingly not given main role to Hermione because may audience or especially male don’t prefer it or it wasn’t popular as it is.
Harmione is innocent as she selected by Krum but she has not courage or choice to select by her will. Ron and Harry felt that if Hermione is not with them then they can’t sometimes come out of such situation but they don’t want to realize it to Hermione.
She is normal and not as much arguing as Eve so audience or male like it. She is a giver like her perch. She wants Ron as her boyfriend but won’t tell him as other girls generally facing. When Ron wounded in chess at that time she take care as her wife or friend means she is ideal as Indian women. She needs protector as in the toilet, she screamed for help and boys help her. Even she has every quality still all likes Harry more than her. Means crave for boy child.

Other female characters support feminist discourse in Harry Potter?

 Professor McGonagall supporting three friends or child means a lady has to support. If we look at professor of Hogwarts than we can see male are more than female. I think there is not any bad role given to female character means they are good but not capable of high role. Why old man guiding Harry to kill Harry not old lady as in Kanthapura. Women are fearful as Harry’s maternal aunt. Harry’s mother is living Harry means mother should love and take care of child. Padma and Parvati are not beautiful so Ron and Harry dislike them means women should be beautiful. All female characters are good beautiful ported but yet it is anti-feminist because justice is not given to female.

2. What is speculative literature?

Speculative fiction is a broad umbrella category of narrative fiction which includes genres, alternative history, fancy, horror fiction, magic, realism, science fancy, science fiction, super natural elements, Any fiction in which the “law” is broken etc.
 Speculative fiction takes our existing world and changes it by asking “what if” what if monkey can fly? It is beyond the imagination of particular person or the world is totally different than ours. If we ask could this world really exist according to our current knowledge of reality? It the answer is yes it probably isn’t, if the answer is no it probably speculative. History is speculative in some way. (Annie Neugebauer)

How far Harry Potter qualifies for the same?
Harry Potter is on magical word which is imaginative with complex background. We don’t move ahead to understand other things without clearing background. There is not specific reason for any character to enter in any situation. Harry is an ordinary man still he can overcome through evil. Several things are difficult to imagine or different image creates in individual’s mind.
Harry Potter is a mythical character with mark “N”. It constantly showing so we can remain in frame that it gifted from birth. He is also signifying that only he is capable of killing Voldemort. We can compare Harry with Lord Krishna that both are rule broker still they are good.
Does J K Rowling transcends the confines of speculative literature and claim the heights of ‘real’ literature?
J. K. Rowling went beyond the speculative literature because she has also described human real relation like mud blood, pure blood and Muggle blood. These are real and every one can imagine same. Hierarchical structure and real school background is also there. So we not just remain for child but claimed real literature also.

3. Power and politics in Harry Potter

There is presence of power and politics in film. This movie based on ideal person that is Howard (School of magic). It is not like great magician alive but it depends on struggle and faces the problem. Hierarchical structure used as a fear mechanism in whole movie.
Rather than equality, equity becomes more impotant.  I think in America there is not superiority in people but they have that kind of feelings for other as for black.
Only power can’t work but there is the need of knowledge to sustain with power. Sometimes the time come power can’t work as Dumbledore die.
