La narrazione del diritto nella saga cinematografica di Harry Potter

From the rules on curses without forgiveness, to the strongly discriminatory ones against house-elves and half-bloods, the narrative of "magical law" in the film adaptation of the Harry Potter saga represents an extremely important profile. This contribution examines some of the most emblematic manifestations of law in the films of the lightning-scarred wizard: through the analysis of the structure and functioning of the Ministry of Magic, the court system and the ex- isting guarantees of fundamental rights, what emerges is a representation of law far removed from the principles and freedoms proper to Muggle constitutionalism in stabilized democracies.
