Moral philosophical reading of Harry Potter Series

Moral philosophical reading of Harry Potter Series.

Harry Potter is speculative Fiction or rather to say an umbrella genre with supernatural or futuristic elements. One can read from literary to philosophical perspective. While watching the series as part of my Academic activity I noted down few more points on this topic than any other. As youth we easily impressed by something and I strongly feel Harry Potter series is great literary work than popular Literature. Here, I'm briefly noting few points on Harry Potter's reading as Moral philosophical literary work.

1.Real Voldemort is inside us and we have to go deep inside us and should fight with it.
2. Fame is not everything or rather to say Fame is fickle friend.
3. Truth will not come out automatic, we have to work for it.
4. There is no end of struggle.
5. You have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide.
6. Thirst to prove self is necessary.
7. Difficult time will come and our choice between easy and right create our identity.
8. Danger : Name it, Discuss about it, It is only way to fear out from it.
9. Heroism comes with modesty not with I, me or myself. Harry :A chosen one, gifted one but he has to work for ultimate end/truth or to win over evil.
10.We will have to wait for appropriate time.
11. Number of followers doesn’t decide strength of leader.
12.Death as purge of evil, nothing is as suspicious as death.
Really, it is for all ages and it’s brilliant.

Here, I found very interesting list if philosophical questions from Harry Potter series from this blog.

The "Mirror of Erised" is a mystical mirror that shows the “deepest and most desperate desires of our hearts.” What do you think you would see looking into the mirror? Would the mirror be able to tell you something you don’t know? If you are not sure of the “deepest desire of your heart,” can it be really be your deepest desire?

What does it mean to trust other people? What must be true for us to say we “trust someone?” Can we ever trust someone completely? What would that mean?

Is bravery the absence of fear? Is it action despite fear? Is courage an act or a quality of a person? What does it entail?

What are the obligations of friendship? Do they vary based on circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

“Horcruxes” are objects used to split a person’s soul and thus seek immortality. There is a comment in the novel that for Voldemort, splitting his soul is the same as splitting his mind. What does this mean? Are the soul and the mind the same thing, or only for Voldemort (and if so, how would that work)? What are the soul and the mind?

How do you prove something is not real?

If something is happening to you, is it real?
