A literary criticism of the book "Harry Potter" by J. K. Rowling is presented. It outlines the expressions of magic like Harry Potter's protective self-sacrifice, Rowling construes magic as requiring precise conditions, as limited by definite parameters. The affinity between science fiction and the fantasy magic of Harry Potter requires justification.
