English, abstract: Harry Potter is a heptalogy of fantasy novels by
the English author Joanne K. Rowling about an adolescent boy named
Harry Potter, first published in England in 1997. Harry Potter
attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a boarding
school for young wizards and witches. Up to his eleventh birthday
his cruel relatives, the Dursleys, have raised the orphaned Harry.
On this day he learns that he is a wizard and has been invited to
attend Hogwarts. The story is mostly set on the school premises,
with each of the seven volumes describing a school year at Hogwarts
and a year of Harry's growing-up. The main topic is Harry Potter's
fight against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort who killed Harry's
parents when he was still an infant. Throughout the story the Dark
Lord Voldemort gains more and more power and tries to kill Harry
several times. In Hallows the climax is reached and the final
battle between Harry and Lord Voldemort which will decide the
future of the wizarding world. The fight of good versus evil is one
of the oldest topics of mankind. Starting with the original sin in

Christian world ever since. This paper presents an analysis of how

series. First, there is a description of Christian motifs in the

in the books. Second, 'good' characters such as Harry's close
friends Ron and Hermione, and Harry's mentor, Professor Dumbledore,

'good'. Third, the 'evil' opponents Draco Malfoy and the evil Dark
Lord Voldemort are analysed as to how they exhibit 'evil'
behaviour. The last chapter deals with the quest
