dc.description.abstract	The research answers the question: In what way are the issues of race and gender represented in three Harry Potter novels and three Narnia novels, and to what extent are these representations essential to the film adaptations? Each of the mentioned issues were represented more prominently and to more depth in Harry Potter, both in the books and in the films. The issues are entangled with the characters and their interactions and help progress the story. Due to their importance, they have been translated to film quite faithfully. In Narnia, however, the issues of race and gender have more of a background function and they do not help progress the plot. Additionally, race and gender represent the 1950s in Narnia, when it was written. Due to some of the representations being somewhat outdated, the films have altered the issues slightly to make them fitting for the early 2000s.	en_US
