What is the theme of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

The major theme is death and dealing with death. However themes of love vs hate and good vs evil are also prominent. The story answers the question, "What really matters?"

The Philosopher's Stone seems to be important because it promises infinite wealth and an endless lifespan. But the only person who can locate the stone is the one who wants to find it without using it - in other words, the person who knows that wealth and longevity don't really matter. Harry believes the quest for the Philosopher's Stone is important because he needs to prevent it from falling into the hands of an evil person.

But in fact the stone is never in any danger and it is not very important to the grand plot. The only real point of the quest is to test Harry himself - to find out if he has the character-qualities required to defeat Voldemort. The obstacle course seems to test power and intelligence.

But in fact any adult wizard could easily run through most of it. For eleven-year-olds, however, this is only possible with team-work, cooperation and courage. Friendship proves far more important than individual abilities.

It is a Hollywood cliche that "family matters more than anything". But one of the messages of Harry Potter is that family only matters if your family love you, and the Dursleys are not very important to anything. What matters is love - whether from family, friends or anyone else.

The conclusion of the story is that love matters more than anything because true love can conquer death. Lily Potter showed her love by dying for her son, and as a result he could not be killed. This theme will be revisited in the final volume, when Harry must die to save everyone, and as a result, his friends cannot be killed.

In the first book, the obvious Christ-figure is Lily, and in later books it will be Dumbledore; but ultimately, it will be Harry. The redemption theme is in the whole series. However, the aspect of this theme that is specific to the first book is Harry's own discovery that love can save us from all evils, and that this is what really matters.

Harry and the gang have to keep the Scorcerer's Stone away from Professor Quirrel.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
