Meaning of Colors in Harry Potter



This scene is about Potter and Dolores Jane Umbridge. She waits for Potter in her office. When Potter comes, she asks him to write “ I must not tell lies’’ using her magic quill pen. Dolores Jane Umbridge is a bad woman, she just wants to punishment Potter. So when Potter writes on paper, the same sentence appears on his hand with sharp pain. And Umbridge feels satisfied and smiles.

The main colors used in movies are mauve and pink. First, they can creat a magic atmosphere, especially the mauve color. Second, a sharp contrast is formed in this way. Umbridge always wear pink clothes and make her voice cute, however, she is an evil woman. If we only see her clothes and office, maybe we will think she is a kind and gracious woman, however, when saw what she did to Potter, we find she is totally different as we thought.

In my country, China, pink and mauve don’t have fixed meaning. But in most situations, mauve give us a romantic and dreamlike feeling. And pink is a cute and soft color, most of Chinese young girls like this very much, it is a positive color.
