The discourse of power and politics in Harry Potter

 The discourse of power and politics in Harry Potter series we largely see in the 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.
      

                           


        In the "Harry Potter and the order of the Phonix" we see that how media manipulate towards power. In this part every people even media also blame on Harry Potter for whatever happen in earlier part. In which use of media we see as a power. Whatever media shows that every people believing and on the basis of that people blaming on Harry Potter. So here we clearly see that how power of politics effect in Harry's life. 

                                                          


The main power in Harry Potter series is Ministry of Magic Functioning. Every time there is some orders from the ministry to Hogwarts and Hogwarts have to follow that. It has a power to operate all the systems in school of Hogwarts. 

       After coming of professor Umbridge we see many changes in the education system and she is only give theoretical knowledge of magic not give any practical knowledge of magic which earlier given by many teacher. So here we find that she has power to imply new rules which operates new education system in school of Hogwarts.









Thank You....
