The story that spans across seven books portrays the predicament of Harry Potter, a magically talented orphan wizard and his adventures in the wizarding world to defeat his arch-enemy Voldemort and to restore order and peace amidst the wizarding populace. Though the primary plot of the The Harry Potter Series revolves around the magical adventures of Harry Potter in the wizarding world, it equally consists of many insightful references to the real world scenarios also. Apart from showcasing a fantastic and magical plot, J.K. Rowling had also interwoven certain social, economical and cultural issues in The Harry Potter Series. One such effectual and important narrative initiated by The Harry Potter Series is, how stratification in a multi cultural society may initiate the prospects of pride, prejudice, exploitation and resultant affliction in a society.
