The famous author of Harry Potter novels, J. K. Rowling, managed not only to invent an interesting, thrilling, and edifying plot but also to create a whole new magical world of characters that are loved all over the world. These characters are not perfect – they have many flaws and virtues which makes it easier for the reader to identify with them. Throughout the series, these witches, wizards, and muggles are spreading empowering messages of love, strength, and, most importantly, the significance of friendship which leads to tolerance. It can be said that these novels are equally appealing to adults and children regardless of their gender. Taking all of that into consideration, it was important to produce something that also reflects the world we live in. According to Heilman and Donaldson: “In the later books, Rowling depicts women in positions of leadership in which they often control the actions or even the thoughts of male characters, as the very many females develop beyond the stereotypical femininity in which they have previously been cast” (143). This paper will try to suggest that female characters in Harry Potter novels grew stronger, more independent, and were given more attention and influence in each sequel. It will trail the evolution of the main characters Hermione Granger, for whom even Mikulan says that her character develops from novel to novel (290) as well as the women of Weasley family, specifically Molly and Ginny Weasley.
