Abstract:Being an international best-seller, Harry Potter series has won the grace from both common readers and professional critics. Rather than a simple imaginary story, this novel can be found comprising of several themes such as the attitude toward love and death, confusion in adolescence, power and abuse of power, and free choice. However, this thesis is intended to make an analysis from a relatively new perspective---the spirit of anti-racism.
In the thesis, the anti-racism theme is analyzed from three different social levels---the leader, the fighter and the foregoer. Albus Dumbledore—headmaster of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger—smart muggle-born girl, and Dobby—a house-elf all play very important roles in Harry Potter’s growing up. What's more, they also play indispensable roles in the fight against anti-racism. This thesis describes the hardships and dangers these three people face and the dauntless spirits they show on the way of fighting against racism. This analysis may lead people to pay more attention to J.K. Rowling's anti-racism conception, and provide a better understanding of the Harry Potter series.
Key Words: Anti-racism, Rebellious spirit, Discrimination, Harry Potter
摘要:《哈利·波特》系列小说一上市即成为全球的畅销书目，获奖无数，并获得了读者以及文学评论家的一致青睐。这部作品不仅仅是一部简单虚幻的魔法故事，相反，它所反映的主题涉及到现实社会的各个层面，例如爱与死亡的关系，少年在青春期的摸索与成熟，权利及权利的滥用，选择的自由，等等。然而，本文将要从反种族主义精神这一较新视角来解读这部魔法巨著。
本文将从三个不同的社会层面分析反种族主义这一主题。魔法学校校长邓布利多、麻瓜出身的聪明女孩赫敏和家养小精灵多比在主人公哈利波特的成长中起到了不可或缺的作用。除此之外，这三个角色在反种族主义的斗争中同样扮演了重要角色。这篇论文将分别从反种族主义领袖、实干家和先行者三个层面论述这三个人物在反种族主义斗争中克服的艰难和表现出的革命者的顽强精神。通过对这篇小说反种族主义主题的分析，希望能够让更多的读者了解罗琳的反种族主义思想，也让人们更好的理解《哈利·波特》这部精彩的作品。
