a handful of non – white characters including like fellow Gryffindors , Jordan,
Dean Thomas and parvati patil, as well as Harry ‘s first romantic interest.
Example like Angliya Johnson is described as
“ a tall black girl with love, braider hair .” This line in Harry Potter and the
order of the Phoenix.
Dean Thomas also called ; “ A black boy even taller than Ron.” This line in Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone.
◇ Voldemort ‘s name the omission:

more than merely the absence of necessity. Namely “ Whiteness” brings to

Mind various racial discrepancies that affect every aspect of our lives and
bring awareness to racial privilege. A process that tends to make white
people feel uncomfortable, even though there is no similar discomfort in
using racial identifiers to refer of colors.
■ Vative racial ideology (Omi and Winant) :- ( essay name “ The
Theoretical status of the concept of Race .”)
According to this ideology race is assumed to be socially construed and
racial justice is pursued via a color blind society in which every one
pursues th American British dreams by “lifting themselves up by the boot
straps. Just world the rewards Good choices. And strong work ethics.

Lord Voldemort, formerly known as Tom Marvolo Riddle , the sworn
enemy of Harry Potter, the incarnate of evil, the powerful dark wizard of all
times is also referred as The one who shall not be named.”
Throughout the series, Rowling established that Voldemort is so feared in
the wizarding dangerous even to speak his name. Most character in the
novels refer to him as “ you – know – who” or “ He – who – must – not –
be named.” Rather than say his name aloud.After seizing indirect control of
the Ministry of magic in 1997 ,Voldemort made his own name Taboo. Thus ,
whenever his name was spoken aloud . Death Eaters and snatchers were
related to the location of the speaker.

Harry Potter has provided a portal to the wizarding world for
millions of readers,but an examination of Harry , his friends and his
enemies will take us longer another Journey through the psyche
of the Muggle and wizard mind.
The twists and turns of the series as well as the psychological
depth and complexity of J.K.Rowling ‘a characters have kept fans
enthralled with and puzzling over the many mysteries that permeate
Hogwarts.
7. ☆ The color of blood : -
Dr.Lisa Delpit‘s essay “ Other people’s Children.” she is said
that in this essay; “ I don’t see color I only see children.”
The tendency of some wizards to place a premium on
pure blood. And treating half- bloods and Muggles as second
class citizens. A number of characters including Draco and
Lucius Malfoy , explicitly espouse the superiority of pure
blood,but this racist attitude may be best personified by the
portrait of Sirius’s Mother said that;

“Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks,
begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers. . . .
Yoooou!” she howled, her eyes popping at the sight of the man [Sirius]. “Blood
traitor, abomination, shame of my if esh!” (Order of the Phoenix 78).
Psychologist interested in social cognition and group relationships have
designed a variety of methods to do just that.
9. ☆ Nagative Stereotypes of Half bloods:-
Although his friendship with Harmione probably
mitigated the bias the result are harder to predict for
Harry and Harmione, Ron both of whom are raised by
Muggles and have Muggles in their liege suggests
that although they would show no baid regarding
potential friendships, they would be more likely to
associated transgressors with pure – blood. There is little
doubt.
10. ☆ The Trouble with Elves :-
Hermione. Unlike practically everyone else, she considers the
treatment of elves to be morally problematic.
“You know house-elves get a very raw deal!.”
Hermione’s position that is more morally acceptable. For one, it is
Albus Dumbledore, not Harry, who serves as the moral compass of the
wizarding world.
11. ☆ Conclusion:-
Although many in-dividuals do see human rights as important across a
variety of different. identity groups, it is also true that advocates for racial
equality. Dumbledore’s explanation to Harry concerning .Kreacher’s
complicity in Sirius’s death is instructive:
“Kreacher is what he has been made by wizards, Harry . . . Sirius did
not hate Kreacher. . . . He regarded him as a servant unworthy of much
interest or notice. Indifference and neglect often do much more dam-age
than outright dislike. . . . We wizards have mistreated and abused our fellows
for too long, and we are now reaping our reward”
