As it follows the magical heroism of the eponymous protagonist‚ the Harry Potter franchise explores such deeply relatable themes of survival‚ belongingness‚ and oppression—paradoxically appealing to intimate issues inherent within realistic society whist too inventing a distinctively detached‚ high-fantasy environment. Ostensibly‚ the normative confines of the magical realm of Harry Potter transcend those of the non-magical “Muggle” world: Harry’s conversations with the seemingly sentient Headmaster

In Fahrenheit 451‚ Ray Bradbury overly exaggerates a future society
