초록
In the Harry Potter Series, the magical power wizards and witches pursue avails its potential for the everlasting dream of eternal life as we used to see in religion. The dream comes true where magic makes it real as wizards desire to. Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Harry are described once as such. Voldemort tries to use magic to live eternally with the legendary philosopher’s stone as we have long known in alchemy, including ‘seven horcruxes’ into which Voldemort stores part of his soul to incarnate whenever he wants to. Dumbledore has the same dream with the three ‘deathly hallows’ he once possesses on his own; he finally changes his mind after he observes the death of his mother and sister. A prophecy reveals Harry as the Chosen One who defeats Voldemort, freeing the world from prevailing evil power; he rises after he willingly dies at the end of the story, just as Jesus Christ did. Religious significance in magic and the occult, including alchemy, astrology, clairvoyance, numerology, is seen in that Harry Potter puts together a vision of Christianity in the world of magic. In the story, magical power makes the vision possible on material basis, seemingly in religious significance, freeing body and spirit by sublime love in family, friends, and then people in the modern society. In the story, courage, sacrifice, forgiveness, love, friendship, fellowship, and freedom in body and spirit appear to be Christian virtues even in terms of the magical power Harry uses throughout the whole story in which evils are finally defeated and goods are raised.
