Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of the female characters from the Harry Potter series. The analysis of the characters is based on their personalities, roles, their development throughout the novels as well as the way in which they reinforce or subvert typical female stereotypes. The first chapter defines stereotypes, female stereotypes, and explains the dynamics of sex-roles. In the second chapter, the emphasis is put on the young witches who all develop and change greatly as the story progresses. The third chapter deals with mothers of the series, followed by two major antagonists. The final chapter analyzes the characters of Minerva McGonagall and Hermione Granger. As the story progresses, the characters in question both develop and show unseen sides to their personality. Considering their increasing complexity, it becomes obvious that the gender stereotypes are not prevalent in the series. While some characters fall into certain categories of stereotypes, they gradually seem to break out of them in more than one way. Therefore, the paper reaches a conclusion that more importance should be attributed to a person’s individuality and development than to the concepts such as masculinity and femininity.
