Abstract
The magical world of Harry Potter emphasizes the link between sight, knowledge, and power. With this connection, it raises the question of ethics within the wizarding world. Because of the different capabilities of sight, such as becoming invisible, the ethics are pushed into a gray area. Since “good” and “evil” are so clearly defined in the series, it is worthy to note the ethics of sight exist in such an undefined area.
