Social Justice
From HARRY
POTTER Posted
1. ___________________________________________________ on August 14,
There’s no better way to understand how something 2013 @
affects society as a whole than to feel its implications 12:38pm
on an individual level. Harry’s personal struggles are EDT.Permission

change in the series. He lost his parents, godfather,

and mentor all at the hands of Voldemort. Since he
feels the impact of these issues so personally, it’s
easier for him to see how they translate into larger
political agendas.
2._________________________________________________
Harry selfless devoted his life to the cause of
defeating Voldemort and the betterment of society,
but he was well aware of all the tools and resources
he had because he was “the boy who lived”. The
surplus of gold his parent left in his Gringotts vault ,
special gifts like the Invisibility Cloak and
Marauder’s Map, and his famous Reputation all
aided him in achieving his goals. These major
advantages weren’t available to other characters, but
Harry was always conscious of his privileges.

3. ______________________________________________
There needs to be an element of assurance and
reliability between people who organized together

 for justice. Dumbledore trusts Snape, Harry
trusts Dumbledore, and everyone else trusts
Harry; there’s clearly a trickledown effect in who
others have confidence in. It’s important to know
who you can count on in dark times when
everything seems bleak.
4. ________________________________________________
Those who are in charge of major institution
don’t always have others’ best interest at heart.
The Ministry of Magic had its own, secret agenda
before it was even infiltrated by Death Eaters,
and at one point Dolores Ambridge had run of
Hogwarts and its students. It’s not always safe to
assume that those in position of power
automatically do the right thing.

5. ________________________________________________
Never follow leaders without question, no matter
what they claim to stand for. The witches and
wizards who don’t challenge Voldemort only make
it easier for him to rise to more power. The Death
Eaters obey every last order from Voldemort and
remain eternally loyal despite his intentions. It
isn’t until the very end of Deathly Hallows that
the Malfoy family comes to their senses and
walks away from the battle of Hogwarts. Just
because someone with conviction dictates what
they want you to do, you shouldn’t follow them
blindly.

6. _______________________________________________
Harry was labeled the “chosen one” and often takes
matters into his own hands, he wouldn’t have been able
to ultimately defeat Voldemort without the help of so
many others. He looked to figures like Dumbledore and
Sirius for guidance, was shown unconditional love and
support from the Weasleys and other Order of the
Phoenix members, and Harry also heavy relied on
Hermione and Ron to fill in the gaps ( and even destroy
a few Horcruxes). Social justice and fighting for what’s
right doesn’t take just one person alone- it’s very much
a group effort.

 7.________________________________________________
The daily Prophet intentionally portrays Harry and
Dumbledore negatively so the rest of the wizarding
world doesn’t trust their word. As you continue on the
path to fighting for what’s right , it’s important to be
critical consumer of mass media and not just believe
everything you read in the news. All human being have
bias, and reporters aren’t any different; they can also
be influenced by their own experiences and
surroundings.
8.____________________________________________________
No one is born with particular set of beliefs and
opinions; as individuals, we all operate within the
system that shape us and effect our eventual outcomes.
Tom Riddle was shaped by a number of experiences
before he transformed himself into Lord Voldemort,
from the orphanage that raised him to the problematic
social forms that drove his Muggle father away from his
witch mother, and even his experiences in Slytherin
house. He didn’t come up with his dark plans for the
wizarding world all on his own.
9._________________________________________________
In order to know where you’re going, you have to
know where others have been. Hermione is
especially good at reading into the past and
understanding important histories so that the group
is aware of other’s successes and failures. The more
information you know, the better off you’ll be. It’s
crucial to have full context.
10.________________________________________________
Inequalities and veils aren’t just isolated incidents, nor
they do come about by coincidence Discrimination
against house-elves, Muggle born, and half-blood
occurs because of the social structure that exists in the
wizarding world. Other instances of injustice –like
professor Umbridge’s “disciplining” of students and how
Hagrid is treated as a giant – are evidences of greater
system perpetuating different kinds of oppression.
