The discourse of Power and Politics in Harry Potter

The discourse of Power and Politics in Harry Potter: How does Ministry of Magic control the resistance? How do they prosecute the ‘Other’?

character like Lord Voldemort, the villain of the fantasy series. He is chiefly concerned with the acquisition of power and growing more and more powerful even at cost of himself. Voldemort believes that;

     "There is no good and evil, there is only power... and those to weak to see it".

            Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore are nothing short of the political endgame played on a large canvass. The power hungry Voldemort resolves to be immortal and to harass the muggles.

Rowling has presented the power dynamic through the character of Voldrmort and Minister , Pure blood people , Umbridge. Voldemort wants to become powerful in the world. Because of this power leads him towards evil. The power to rule over the world and become immortal. The powerful justice system of Wizarding world is also doing injustice by giving death sentence to Buckbeak. It all happens because Buckbeak beats Draco because Draco insulting him. It shows that how power can be injustice towards animal.

Power of politics which shows that power can do anything on the name of reformation. The conflict between Voldrmort and Harry can be also seen as conflict of evil power and Good power.

thank you...............
