[[Category:Themes]]
According to Rowling, a major theme in the series is death: "My books are largely about death. They open with the death of Harry's parents. There is Voldemort's obsession with conquering death and his quest for immortality at any price, the goal of anyone with magic. I so understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We're all frightened of it." [http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Themes_from_Harry_Potter quote]
