in Marxist Perspective
J.K Rowling adapts Marx’s ideas to fit into modern society. Within the Harry
Potter world, the proletariat class can move up in society. One of the main
examples of this is Severus Snape. He was a Half Blood wizard, but he was
sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts, which is seen as a Pure Blood house. He
did join Voldamort in the first Wizarding War. After the love of his life, Lily,
died, he join the good side and became a double agent. When Harry is
Hogwarts, he does everything within his power to protect him even though
he hates him. An example of this is in the first book during Harry’s first
Quidditch match where he mutters protective spells when Harry nearly falls
off his broom. Even though he is seen as evil in the last two books, after
killing the much-loved Dumbledore, he is seen as a loyal and good wizard
and is respected by all those who knew him.

 This is seen in the discrimination against Muggle born, or Mudbloods, as
they are called, who are the proletariat class and the Pure Bloods/Half
Bloods being the bourgeoisie class. According to Marx the discrimination
that occurs between the Purebloods and the Muggle Born is due to the fact
of the existence of ‘conditional labor’. He wanted the proletariat class to go
against their positions in society and become free from the bourgeoisie
ruling class. Voldemort's defeat by Harry can be seen as a proletariat
rebellion succeeding. In saying that, though, when we flash forward
everything seems to be the same. Ron, Harry and Hermione all have jobs in
the Ministry and their children are attending Hogwarts. Even though
Voldamort was defeated, everything still seems to be the same.

In Deathly Hallows
Even though J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series is seen
as a children’s book series, there is evidence of Karl
Marx’s ideas of society. She shows her readers of how
bad the Marxist society is in the Wizarding world
through the intense dislike of Voldemort and pity for
the Muggle Borns.
Moral of the Story
Harry taught us to never give up. He destroyed the horcrux within himself, and
then came back from the dead to kill Voldemort. Harry endured so much in the
series, and he persevered through all of it. He showed us that you can push
through even the hardest times, bounce back and succeed.
