Abstract
J.K. Rowling is an author of the series of seven fantasy novels about Harry Potter. The series depicts the lives of three best friends and young wizards: Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and their fight against the evil wizard Voldemort. This paper analyzes the feminist characters in the Harry Potter series as well as anti-feminists in the novels. Some critics accuse J.K. Rowling of being anti-feminist because the main character in the series is a boy and, at first glance, it seems that the majority of the most important characters are males. They condemn her for stereotypically describing female characters as the weaker and less competent sex. This paper aims to portray the feminist characteristics of selected female characters in the series and to illustrate their power and importance. The characters who initially appear to be stereotypically described usually experience a significant character development throughout the series and able to demonstrate that they are not just passive characters but fighters for the rights of oppressed social groups, and against discrimination and racism. Witches have proven to be just as brave and important as wizards in the fight against evil.
