Hello readers,
I have tried to read Harry Potter series with feminist perspective. so enjoy reading.
The feminist ideals in Harry Potter are most easily seen through the lead female character, Hermione Granger, as she is a manifestation of the author herself within the text. “Hermione is me,” Rowling has said in several interviews, “A caricature of me when I was younger”. Rowling has said that, as a child, “she was perceived as being very bossy and often the brightest one in her class, and those traits she gave to Hermione” (Gladstein 50)
As Rowling made Hermione’s character with many weaknesses, and strength, feminist critics has often attacked Hermione for her weaknesses, criticizing her for being emotional, bookish, and in driven position by hero or other characters. Hermione finds everything of one's need from her purse, so feminist reader may raise the question that why is she carrying purse only than any other object?
Rowling includes several other strong female characters in her stories; one of the strongest characters in Harry Potter is Professor Minerva McGonagall. Like Hermione, McGonagall is often criticized for being dull, bossy, and for being merely second in command under a male headmaster. However, McGonagall holds a powerful position as headmistress of arguably the most respected house at Hogwarts, Gryffindor.
