The social hierarchy of wizards in Rowling's world has drawn debate among critics. "Purebloods" have two wizard parents; "half-bloods" have one; and "Muggle-born" wizards have magical abilities although neither of their parents is a wizard. [134] Lord Voldemort and his followers believe that blood purity is paramount and that Muggles are subhuman. [135] According to the literary scholar Andrew Blake, Harry Potter rejects blood purity as a basis for social division; [136] Suman Gupta agrees that Voldemort's philosophy represents "absolute evil"; [137] and Nel and Eccleshare agree that advocates of racial or blood-based hierarchies are antagonists. [138] [139] Gupta, following Blake, [140] suggests that the essential superiority of wizards over Muggles – wizards can use magic and Muggles cannot – means that the books cannot coherently reject anti-Muggle prejudice by appealing to equality between wizards and Muggles. Rather, according to Gupta, Harry Potter models a form of tolerance based on the "charity and altruism of those belonging to superior races" towards lesser races.

Many of the motifs of the Potter stories such as the hero's quest invoking objects that confer invisibility, magical animals and trees, a forest full of danger and the recognition of a character based upon scars are drawn from medieval French Arthurian romances. [25] Other aspects borrowed from French Arthurian romances include the use of owls as messengers, werewolves as characters, and white deer. [25] The American scholars Heather Arden and Kathrn Lorenz in particular argue that many aspects of the Potter stories are inspired by a 14th-century French Arthurian romance, Claris et Laris, writing of the "startling" similarities between the adventures of Potter and the knight Claris. [25] Arden and Lorenz noted that Rowling graduated from the University of Exeter in 1986 with a degree in French literature and spent a year living in France afterwards. [25]
