In "Harry Potter and prince - half-blooded" of J.K. Rowling to the foreground appears a problem of genesis of the main heroes as: Harry Potter and the Volant Mort.

It is remarkable, that both is half-blooded but if Harry has gone by road kindness and light against him the Volan-de-Mort has chosen other way - a gloom and evil. Their half-human origin makes them more clear to readers. The author in this stories trying to seen a genesis of heroes and in detail to show and explain the reasons of their opposition.

Both of they early were deserted and had originally equal odds in the beginning of their life. The writer has evidently shown, that the final choice beyond each of them and do not to relieve her heroes of responsibility for their choice. Perhaps, the most interesting in this book is attempt of Rowling not only to understand the reasons of fall the Volan-de-Mort, but also to gain sympathy to him because of his not easy life in the childhood: the orphan deprived of parental love.

The Rowling in the most detailed has described the image of love history of mother of Volant-de-Mort, she was hereditary magician who have fallen in love with handsome man of aristocrat Tom Reddl. The Volan-de-Mort did not know his own parents. "At sixteen-year age, in a summer, he has left an orphanage to which always came back at a vacation, and has gone to searches any relatives of Mraks" [1].

The discover made by himself and come shock him: The father was not wizard; he was just a mortal Magle. Moreover, he being charmed with sorcery of Meron his mother at once has desert her. The Dambldor upon his own way has told to Harry a birth history of the Volan-de-Mort: "Actually, I am sure, that he is (a Redle) was mean, that he was under magic action, and now these charms are taken off, though certainly, has not dared to tell about it directly - be afraid of, if anybody thought that he is a madman. The inhabitants of village have drawn a conclusion, that Merona has cheat Tom Redle, having told as she is pregnant, and that has forced to marry her" [2].

The child was born one year later after their wedding. The Tom Redle has leave her when the child not born yet". He never was interested in destiny of the son. When he get to know that his father not the wizard, has refused a former name and thought out the name Volan-de-Mort and investigated a parent line.

His mother Merona was the thoroughbred magician from descendants SALAZARA Slizerina. So to penetrate into secret of birth the Volan-de-Mort, for DABMLDOR and Harry Potter was necessary to buried in the Whirlpool of memory: "Harry was bend over a bowl, made a deep breath and dipped face into a silvery substance. He has felt, that the whole world is turning upside down; he fell, fell through turning darkness, and suddenly be found, that he stand, blinking because of dazzling sunlight” [3].

The portrait characteristic of Merona have an aversion simultaneously with sorrow: "She had dim, lifeless hair and ugly pale face with rough features. Her eyes as brothers, mowed in the different sides" [4]. But her son with beauty have to look like a father. However, the internal metamorphoses into bad side have changed also his attractive appearance. He gradually became ugly in process of animosity: "His features were not such as almost two year ago come to Harry in the big stone boiler, was less snake, the eyes not be shot of ancient purple, and the face has not turn into mask yet and nevertheless he not have face of handsome man of Tom Redleany more. His face seemed like burnt, a features have lost sharpness become as wax and twisted; the white of eyes already for ever poured with blood though pupils have not turned to narrow cracks not for a while yet which (as know Harry) they should become" [5].

That is the Volan-de-Mort gradually lost his natural beauty in process of spiritual regress, he is not at once became that monster whom we saw in the first books - saga about Harry Potter. As against of Harry Potter who never was differed in beautiful face. On the contrary, the author Rolling constantly emphasized his plain, angularity.

But his secret loveliness, and, finally, invincible force it was covered, according to Dambldor, in his knack of love: "... you protected because of you talent for love!". And further: "Also it there is a single protection which is capable to withstand to devouring craving for imperiousness of Volan-de-Mort! Even all trials you have, even all sufferings in spite of that your heart keeps pure, the same as it was eleven years ago when you have looked in the mirror which reflected yours desires, and it has shown, that you aspire not to immortality, not to wealth, but only to blocking Lord's way as the Volan-de-Mort" [6].

The mistake of Volan-de-Mort was not appreciate Harry's power at its true value force which he not have. It is difficult to blame the Volan-de-Mort in absence of love to people: The author Rowling in this story tries to be objective regarding to Volan-de- Mort, showing understanding to anger of small orphans not felt deeply parents love. Whereas Harry has absorbed power of love with one's mother milk and she was give up a life for him. Father and mother of Harry though not for a long time, they were prevented with death, but selflessly loved small son, so strongly, that it has probable owed him to survive in the uncle's family which were hating him and further shall to stand up against the Volan-de-Mort. So it mean, that Harry's main weapon it is a kind heart and love thus the appearance has no any value.

The Rowling has written already seven books about Harry Potter which translated into 65 languages and have to enjoy wide popularity: "the British newspapers compare Harry Potter's popularity with cult of "Bittlze" music group [7]. The J. Rowling has admitted in interview, that only after that when Americans have become interested in her book and invested money for advertising, things are going swimmingly: "Now only advertising with the million budgets tutn you into Star" [8].

Though the writer is constantly threatened "to kill" Potter that do not allow to her: as it is equivalent to murder of the hen laying gold eggs. In last book about Harry Potter he became already the father of three children and may it will be as literary immortality because of perpetual contracts giving to author fabulous incomes and though as considered, that the literature is a imaginations trade but when these imaginations have solid material expression it already becomes fact of a real life more likely.

The children are always live in the special world where there is a place to a fairy tale that is to belief in the best life, miracles and magic. For children the fairy tale is not only flight into invented life where always wins kindness, it is also a way of world's knowledge and self-affirmation. So thus, as an original psychotherapy and a scale of life's knowledge through the certain prism of positivism giving a charge of optimism and inspiration.

In all books about Harry Potter the magic world in parallel coexists with the world of people (Magls) and everywhere there are negative characters. The Harry Potter's nature, and also his main enemy is dual also: they are like a half-humans and half-magician. The unusual destiny of these half-blooded - antagonists, their dangerous adventures in both worlds bewitches the readers living only in one real world.

The unlimited opportunities of these characters be possessed of magic make their opposition especially sharp. Probable each child either dream to be possessed of magic to put the axe on the helve. The Harry and the Volan-de-Mort are embodiments of this dream: The Harry is a positive example, and his opponent and eternal enemy - is a negative example in both worlds.

In opinion of the author, the main tragedy of Volan-de-Mort that he could not dispose of unique opportunities correctly and always aspired only to villainy and autocracy and riches. The Volan-de- Mort, as well as Harry, has grown in adverse conditions and an aggressive environment hostilely directed against of defenseless orphans. The Harry not become embittered, but become more tempered in family of uncle which was hating him in spite of this Harry not become infected with virus of hatred from relatives and has chosen an own way.

Whereas the Volan-de-Mort from little up took pleasure from wish for to hurt of evil. All his life is perfection on afield of evil deeds and themostterrible chime of Volan-de-Mort make against his own soul having broken off on seven parts. As approved of Sliznort, the soul is thought as something complete. To split it that means to make violence opposite to the nature over murder as supreme evil: "Murder breaks off soul. The wizard have an intention of to create krestrazh and uses this mutilation to own benefit" [9].

The Philosophical stone for Volan-de-Mort was attracted less, than Krestrazh because of elixir have prolonged a life, but the one who aspires to immortality, should take it constantly, eternally, i.e. - to get in use, and a the stopping to take it dose was meant with death. The Volan-de-Mort aspired to get rid of both half-life, as of the origin of half-blooded. The Harry and Dambldor tried to destroy of Krestrazh because without them the Volan-de-Mort would turn to simple mortal with the spoiled soul. The Dambldor for a just cause has given a life and Harry alone continued the eternal struggle against the main enemy having refused even from love.

The Volan-de-Mort conceived his own immortality as the original protest against of half-human origins; he thought that it is defective and shameful. The Volan-de-Mortdon't want to have anything common with people and have the feelings inhered to people. He hated all human as weak. Therefore, could not understand the reason of superiority of Harry Potter which power was in ability to love.

Probably the attempt of J. Rowling to understand genesis of the main heroes is the beginning of the end of multivolume saga about Harry Potter for example, Marty Lingstrem was marked that: "Harry Potter on a horse only because of press has artificial warms up interest of a young part of an audience. After six weeks you will overlook about him because you will not hear about it in mass-media” [10].

But his opinion does not share R. Pasikoff, the president of research company Brand Keys have asserting, that though interest to Harry Potter have fallen the books about him will be reading for a long time. In Russia published a 13 books about "Harry Potter in a skirt" and Dmitry Emetsa about Tana Groter. The copyright owner of J. Rowling were accusing D. Emetsa in plagiarism and threatened with court action. In the USA a series books about sisters written by the Grimm was published. In the Great Britain the F. Pulman has released the trilogy about the girl Lyra Belaqwa. the A.R. Gordon and B. Williams have published the book "Tunnels" where the main hero is a boy-archeologist but not a wizard. In Ireland the J. Kolfer has released a series about Artemis Faul' - the clever boy with criminal bents born in Irish gangsters family. That is "nature abhors a vacuum". In many countries children's products where make an attempt to replace so popular Harry Potter in many parts of the world.

The problem of genesis in "Gold Key, or Buratino adventures" written by A.N. Tolstoij have the original decision: The Buratino was made from a tree, but nevertheless the Karlo became his father. The lonely old organ-grinder was glad to have even the wooden son in spite of gave a lot of trouble to him. But a necessity in love and have a family was so strong, that they became a family. In A. Tolstoij's fairy tale the character of main hero was undergoing certain evolution: from impetuous loafer, in a process of struggle against most malicious enemies the Buratino varied to be better and eventually became the main positive hero. As well as in national fairy tales.

The Buratino have a wonderful birth, but for all have possesses with person properties such as to think, to speak, to take a decision, etc. that is also has a traditional roots of main hero allocation and to attraction a special attention of readers to hero. Even the birth of Buratino is shown with humour when the capricious log not having got yet a certain forms began to show some muscle.

The character of Buratino as distinct from appeasable Karlo and at own discretion lengthening a nose. The Buratino - man-made creation of the lonely elderly person which all the same has found at face of Pinnokio the careful son. Exactly the format of an author's fairy tale had allowed in given story to embody of Karlo's dream of son and over his own way to solve a problem of genesis. The origin of Buratino is unusual, but more unusual is behaviour among people and dolls: in this fairy tale the world of people and the work of dolls are joined real and fantastic. The Buratino dexterously balances between them have been protecting weak and kind. The embodiment had allowed to liven up a dolls thus to make their especially interesting to children.

Thus, in all versions of writers of Soviet period the Buratino as against of character of K. Kollodi does not dream to change: from a wooden doll to the boy. Besides these characters do not remember their own genesis, they do not suffer that have appeared from a log. But in spite of that their turn over in one's mind that his father daddy Karlo and have behave themselves, as usual children - mischievous persons, to give Karlo a lot of trouble, being loving magnanimous and self-denying Karlo whereas in "Harry Potter and prince - half-blooded" of J. Rowling the problem of genesis of the main heroes is a topic.

The author finds similarity in the biography of "these orphans who were not knowing their own parents. But nevertheless, Harry and the Volan-de-Mort continue a family business one or another measure. The Parents of Harry have created a kindness against them the mother of Volan-de-Mort came from generation of malicious wizards.

The duality of a hero's nature and dwelling simultaneously in two worlds had expanded a range of struggle. But nevertheless, in opinion of author. The strongest magic power is a love both in the wizards' world and in the Magls world, i.e. people only and symbolical mean that Harry and the Volan-de-Mort are half-blooded. So, they has a choice, but is more comfortable for them in the magic world either pursuing each other being dangerous for itself and other in this never-ending struggle.
