Abstract:

This critical essay explores the concept of bondage and race within the Harry Potter series. Through the lens of historical enslavement, this piece investigates how the wizarding world deems its people and cultural heritage through house-elf slavery. What do the lives and legacies of the multi-racial characters within the Harry Potter series, and their perception toward the principals of slavery, ethically teach Harry Potter enthusiasts on the overwhelming topic of personal body rights and the enslaved? This loaded question is up for much debate and discussed within Harry Potter and the Master of Slaves.
