All about magic world! Magic might sound complicated for
people living in the real world. However, we can find most things happen
in the magic world shadow the reality. For example, The Ministry of Magic, the
highest official of magic world, has the similar structure as a real country's
government. The minister are elected, required education background, tested and
are guarded. Similar to the real government, the department of defense,
education, justice, and even foreign affairs under the Ministry of Magic all
have their own responsibilities and rights to benefit and regulate the
"citizens". Under this condition, we can easily understand the how
the system work and the stories in the magic society. Further more,
stories of abusing power, briber, colluder all epitomize the dark side in real
world. As a result, not only we read the story itself, but we relate the
reality. Evils would not have good result eventually and merits deserve
rewards. These two points show the typical features of melodrama: allude the
society and fight against evils.
The heroes are from different levels of class. Ronald Bilius
is from a pure blood family, while Hermione Granger has muggle parents.
From the first volume, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, we
can easily learn that regardless of
family background, everyone has relatively autonomy, which is encouraged and
supported in real world for decades.
"I mean, a dog will bite if yeh bait it, won' it - but
Thestrals have hust got a bad reputation because o' the death thing- people
used ter think they were bad omens, didn't they? Just didn't understnad, did
they?" This is said by prodessor Rubeus Hagrid during a Care of Magical
Creatures class.
“We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the
same, and worth saving.” This is from Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows. Quite straightforward, equality and autonomy are important
moralities. When the little Harry Potter was taught to treat everyone equally,
other than moved by the scene, Harry Potter also teaches readers. Melodrama
sends the positive messages subtly.
