Abstract
The magic in Harry Potter lends attractiveness to the stories, but it is merely a setting, only marginally important for the issues that the series raises. The main issues are coming to consciousness of an adolescent individual and the rites of passage to adulthood. Within these the stories invite the adolescent reader to participate in a range of moral dilemmas and emotional situations, to which s/he is to find own relationship and response. The texts are also addressing a number of social and political concerns of the contemporary world, such as the respect of cultural differences, the issue of class and race, and the nature of power and totalitarian dominance.
