Discourse on purity of Blood and Harry Potter

Blood status, a very much concept of blood purity remains at centre in Harry Potter series as well as dark lord Voldemor's concern for killing person from non magical blood also represents discourse of purity of blood. The term pure blood refres to a family without Muggle blood. This concept of purity of blood plays a vital role in wizarding wars. According to Salazar Slytherin only pure bloods should be allowed to attend Hogwart school of Witchcraft and Wizardy. In the nov we have characters who belongs from various blood as mentioned below.

Pure blood : Ron Weasley

Draco Malfoy

Muggle blood: Hermione Granger

Half blood: Harry Potter

Albus Dumbleder

Hermoine called as "Filthy Little Mudblood".

As Hermoine belongs from Muggle blood, she is frequently insulted by Draco as he himslef belongs from pure blood, this presents inferior attitude of pure blood people towards Muggles. This concepts of purity of blood is also emerged in political power when Voldemort has his control on Ministry of Power and he starts to cospire againt Mudbloods by using Dolores Umbridge.

Along with this we can also find a stereotypical representation of Indian girl at Ministry of Magic who presented in Indian traditional costumes with having black skin whereas Harry is depicted as rational thinker and having fair skin and having a sense of modern world.

Here the Dumbledore's statement remains worthy as he points out that blood doesn't matter what matter is how one can grow up.

"You place too much importance, and you always have done, on the so- called purity of blood! You fail to recognise that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be"

- Albus Dumbledore
