Both tried to wipe out the part of themselves they saw as inferior and no one questioned hitlers or voldomort's parentage (other then Harry & dumbledore of course).

Yes, the realm of magic part might not seem new in turns of the fantasy genre, but ultimately, the subject matter in the books is very mature. Rowling finds an innovative way to address racism in a way that is accessible to children, those who were born with magic and those who were not. The characters that cannot rationalize that people who cannot perform magic are still valuable and entitled to respect, are the evil ones. They are moved by hate and power. Rowling also introduces political agendas and corruption to the realm of children's literature. Harry is not perfect, Ron and Hermione have different qualities that foil his. However, he shows that even as a new addition to the magic community, his moral compass lets him know what actions need to be taken to fight injustice. There is a clear connection between the political and racial situation in the books to Germany and the Holocaust. Harry's final act of self-sacrifice seems to be motivated by the same surprising optimism as that of Anne Frank. "That's the difficulty in these times: ideals, dreams, and cherished hopes rise within us, only to meet the horrible truth and be shattered. It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. Anne Frank (1929 - 1945)" Whether or not, the movies survive or depict the story accurately, I'm not sure. But it is undeniable that Rowling has written great literature.

Magic and non-magic make a "half-blood."
