The theme of Love and Death

The theme of Love and Death: How does Harry Potter make use of age old theme of Love of the dead as well as living as protecting armour? How does Harry Potter deal with the concept of Death as something inevitable?




 Love and Death are major themes in J.K.Rowling's Harry potter books she herself has said in a recent, interview in recent interview in " The Tatler" Magazine that " My books are largely about death"

Love is another major themes in the movies . It is described as one of the only things which can conquer the Dark Arts and ever Death, evident in Lily's potter's  sacrifice. When Harry died to save his friends and allies at the Battle of Hogwarts, his sacrifics saved them and made them untouchable to the Death Eaters .

It was Severus Snape's love for Lily which redeemed him. Narcissa Malfoy's love for her son led her to lie to Voldemort about Harry's death saving his life and giving him the chance to defeat Voldemort.Harry's ability to love and be loved is a defining difference between him and Voldemort. Harry builds up friendships , a support system of friends that Voldemort could never hope to match.


Death plays it's greatest part in the Seventh movies. The story of the peverell brothers who tried to cheated Death, and the objects which when reunited, would make one Master of Death.The only way someone can defeat death is when they no longer fears death, but accept it. They instead " greet Death as an old friend" 





Thank You....
