摘　　要：罗琳在塑造《哈利·波特》系列小说的主要人物时表现出了哲学家的睿智,而萨特的存在主义可以对罗琳的哲学思想进行深度解读。伏地魔和哈利.波特的出生背景相似,之后却形成了迥异的性格。根据萨特的观点,出生以自在的形式存在,而品质却由自为所决定;通过选择,自为不断地否定自身,逐步形成特定的品质。伏地魔的残忍、诡秘、霸道,哈利.波特的勇敢、爱和责任心都是通过一次次的选择而逐渐定型并得到强化的。人物的选择造就了其性格品质,这恰好印证了萨特的哲学思想:存在先于本质。When creating major characters, J. K. Rowling showed her profound philosophical thoughts in Harry Potter series, part of which can be explained in the view of Sartre＇s Existentialism. Harry Potter and Voldmort were quite alike in birth, but why were their characters so different？ According to Sartre, birth existed in the form of in - itself, while characters were determined by for - itself, which negated itself by means of man＇s choices when facing dilemma so as to form specific characters. Voldmort＇s cruelty, secretiveness, tyranny and Harry Potter＇s bravery, love, responsibility were all formed and strengthened by their choices. The choices contributed to the formation of characters, which proved Sartre＇s assertion： Existence Precedes Essence.
