摘要

宗教元素在西方文学中运用广泛，在哈利波特系列小说中作者罗琳就使用了许多基督教元素。

本文通过举例的方式对系列小说中的基督教元素进行分析。

文章主要包括三部分：

第一部分介绍哈利波特系列小说的主要内容。

第二部分包括三方面内容：

第一方面是关于小说主角:

基督式人物哈利波特，主要是对哈利波特与基督的相似点举例进行比较；第二方面是讨论作者在其书中使用的基督教传统元素，主要是探讨反面角色伏地魔不可称呼的名字，以及他想杀死哈利波特的邪恶企图,然后是讨论小说中体现的基督教式死亡与复活；第三方面是关于小说中对圣经的模仿，主要有作者对圣经但以理书和启示录中一些内容的模仿。

论文第三部分是关于宗教与文学之间的联系，分析它们共同的起源，对生活共同的呼吁和它们采用的相似研究方法，并且还讨论宗教与文学的重要性。

在总结部分，对全文主要内容和写作目的作回顾和总结。

本文主要通过运用举例子和作比较的方法，浅析哈利波特系列小说中的基督教元素，以展现宗教与文学之间的联系。

希望对阅读哈利波特系列小说的读者有所助益，特别是那些希望对该小说的宗教背景有更深层理解的读者。
