Dualism of good and evil from "summary" of The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy by William Irwin,Gregory Bassham
The Harry Potter series is anything but a simple black-and-white tale of good versus evil. Instead, J. K. Rowling delves into the complexities of human nature, portraying characters who are not purely good or purely evil, but rather a mix of both. This nuanced exploration of morality is reflected in the concept of the dualism of good and evil. Throughout the series, we see characters who exhibit both virtuous qualities and morally questionable behaviors. This duality of character highlights the idea that good and evil are not mutually exclusive, but rather coexist within each individual.

Similarly, characters like Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy demonstrate a capacity for both kindness and cruelty, blurring the lines between good and evil. ...
