Harry Potter and Many Distinctions

If you are writing a huge story, you may be wondering what to do if you have more than one set of groups.

For example, in the Harry Potter series, there are lots of categorizations:

Among Wizards and Witches - Muggles

Mudbloods

Half-bloods

Pure bloods

In the Magical Community - House Elf

Giant

Centaur

Goblin

At Hogwarts - Gryffindor

Slytherin

Ravenclaw

Hufflepuff

In the Past War - Order of the Phoenix

Death Eaters

Bystanders

Victims

Each of these represents the theme in different ways. In the earlier books, the Hogwarts Houses appropriately represent good and evil, since the books were aimed squarely at children. As the characters grow up, they learn about more discrimination in the magical community through these other distinctions.

There are shades of grey in every single one of these groups. Sirius Black is from a long line of Slytherin graduates, yet he chooses Gryffindor during school. He also joins the Order of the Phoenix, though his younger brother becomes a Death Eater. Yet, he treats his house elf, Kreacher, with contempt and cruelty.

Even within the same character, there are shades of grey—which makes sense, given who raised him (we'll talk about this more when we get to the fifth layer).

There are death eaters who betray Voldemort, bystanders who stand by the Order of the Phoenix, haters of Voldemort who also have contempt for muggles, and more.

As long as the groups all somehow trace back to the theme, you'll still find your story in deep alignment.
