Subservience of Non-Magical Blood in Joanne Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Abstract

This research has focused on the racial prejudice faced by the non-magical

race from the magical group. The research examines the racial relation between the

magically powerful wizard Lord Voldemort, Death Eaters, pure-blood wizards and the

non-magical group. The magical race with pure-blood wizards and witches try to wipe

out the non-magical humans only in the pretext of magically powerless race. The

racial war is for the extermination of non-magical blood that is subservient to

magically powerful wizards and witches. Descendents of magical and non-magical

blood are also impure race and subject to extermination, to make the magical race

with only pure-blood wizards and witches. The extermination and domination of them

by Death Eaters and pure-blood wizards under the leadership of Lord Voldemort has

been traced scenario in this research. This research explores how the social definition

set up by wizard-kind effect the non-magical blood and their life. Thus, the research

reveals the racial relation, exclusion of the other and disempowerment of the non-

magical blood in the text.
