 13 Lessons
about Social
Justice from
Harry Potter.
Krystie Lee Yandoli
 1. The personal is political. There's no better
way to understand how something affects
society as a whole than to feel its implications
on an individual level. Harry's personal
struggles are what make him such an effective
agent for social change in the series. He lost
his parents, godfather, and mentor all at the
hands of Voldemort. Since he feels the impact
of these issues so personally, it’s easier for him
to see how they translate into larger political
agendas.
 2. Check your privilege. Harry selflessly
devoted his life to the cause of defeating
Voldemort and the betterment of society, but
he was well aware of all the tools and
resources he had because he was "the boy who
lived." The surplus of gold his parents left in
his Gringotts vault, special gifts like the
Invisibility Cloak and Marauder’s Map, and
his famous reputation all aided him in
achieving his goals. These major advantages
weren’t available to other characters, but
Harry was always conscious of his privileges.
 3. Work with people you trust. There
needs to be an element of assurance and
reliability between people who organize
together for justice. Dumbledore trusts
Snape, Harry trusts Dumbledore, and
everyone else trusts Harry; there’s clearly
a trickle-down effect in who others have
confidence in. It’s important to know who
you can count on in dark times when
everything seems bleak.
4. People in power aren't necessarily in
the right. Those who are in charge of
major institutions don’t always have
others’ best interests at heart. The
Ministry of Magic had its own, secret
agenda before it was even infiltrated by
Death Eaters, and at one point Dolores
Umbridge had run of Hogwarts and its
students. It’s not always safe to assume
that those in positions of power
automatically do the right thing.
 5. Avoid blind allegiance. Never follow leaders
without question, no matter what they claim to stand
for. The witches and wizards who don’t challenge
Voldemort only make it easier for him to rise to
more power. The Death Eaters obey every last order
from Voldemort and remain eternally loyal despite
his intentions. It isn't until the very end of Deathly
Hallows that the Malfoy family comes to their
senses and walks away from the Battle of Hogwarts.
Just because someone with conviction dictates what
they want you to do, you shouldn’t follow them
blindly.
6. You can’t accomplish everything alone. While
Harry was labeled the “chosen one" and often
takes matters into his own hands, he wouldn't
have been able to ultimately defeat Voldemort
without the help of so many others. He looked to
figures like Dumbledore and Sirius for guidance,
was shown unconditional love and support from
the Weasleys and other Order of the Phoenix
members, and Harry also heavily relied on
Hermione and Ron to fill in the gaps (and even
destroy a few Horcruxes). Social justice and
fighting for what's right doesn't take just one
person alone — it's very much a group effort
7. News sources aren’t always accurate. The
Daily
` Prophet intentionally portrays Harry
and Dumbledore negatively so the rest of
the wizarding world doesn’t trust their
word. As you continue on the path to
fighting for what’s right, it's important to
be a critical consumer of mass media and
not just believe everything you read in the
news. All human beings have bias, and
reporters aren’t any different; they can also
be influenced by their own experiences and
surroundings.
8. People are often products of their environment.
No one is born with a particular set of beliefs and
opinions; as individuals, we all operate within the
systems that shape us and affect our eventual
outcomes. Tom Riddle was shaped by a number
of experiences before he transformed himself into
Lord Voldemort, from the orphanage that raised
him to the problematic social norms that drove
his Muggle father away from his witch mother,
and even his experience in Slytherin house. He
didn’t come up with his dark plans for the
wizarding world all on his own.
 9. Do your research. In order to know
where you’re going, you have to know
where others have been. Hermione is
especially good at reading into the past
and understanding important histories
so that the group is aware of others’
successes and failures. The more
information you know, the better off
you’ll be. It’s crucial to have full
context.
 10. Injustices operate within systems.
Inequalities and evils aren’t just isolated
incidents, nor do they come about by
coincidence. Discrimination against house-
elves, Muggle-borns, and half-bloods occurs
because of the social structures that exist in
the wizarding world. Other instances of
injustice — like professor Umbridge’s
“disciplining” of students and how Hagrid
is treated as a giant — are evidence of
greater systems perpetuating different kinds
of oppression.
 11. Follow your own moral compass. It’s
not easy to stand up for what you know is
the right thing, but trusting your gut
feeling is the key to being an advocate for
social change. Even if your opinion is
unpopular, like Hermione creating the
Society for the Promotion of Elfish
Welfare, that doesn’t make it any less just.
We all have instincts for a reason, and
more often than not your own moral
compass won’t steer you wrong.
 12. Never give up. Revolutionizing the way
societies operate and shifting political
discourse is never a simple task — there are
plenty of hardships that change-seekers
come up against along the way. Harry, Ron,
and Hermione encountered a number of
difficulties since the beginning of their
adventures and the wizarding world had to
go through two wars before finally
defeating Voldemort for good, but they
remained resilient through it all and
triumphed in the end.
 13. Love is the most powerful tool you have. One
of the major themes in the entire series, love plays
an essential role in overcoming the worst kinds of
evil. It is a universal emotion that all human beings
(and wizards) can relate to in one way or another,
and is a major driving force behind social change.
Love is strong enough to inspire Narcissa Malfoy
to protect Harry against Voldemort because she
wanted to know her son was safe and motivates
characters like Fred Weasley to voluntarily
sacrifice their lives for the greater good. Most
importantly, it gives characters something worth
fighting for. The world knows no greater force.

ALICE MEYNELL
(1847-1922)
 Though born in London,
poet, suffragette, critic and
essayist ​Alice Meynell (1847-
1922) spent most of her
childhood in Italy, the setting
 for this short travel essay,
"By the Railway Side."
 Originally published in
"The Rhythm of Life and
Other Essays" (1893),
"By the Railway Side"
contains a powerful 
vignette.
In an article titled "The Railway
Passenger; or, The Training of
the Eye", Ana Parejo Vadillo
and John Plunkett interpret
Meynell's brief ​descriptive 
narrative as "an attempt to get
rid of what one may call the
"passenger's guilt" -- or
 "the transformation of
someone else's drama
into a spectacle, and the
guilt of the passenger as
he or she takes the
position of the audience,
not oblivious to the fact that
what is happening is real but
both unable and unwilling to
act on it" ("The Railway and
Modernity: Time, Space, and
the Machine Ensemble,"
2007).
