This article explores the use of metaphor in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, focusing on its structural, semantic, cognitive, and narrative functions. The study reveals how metaphors in the novel contribute to world-building, emotional intensity, character development, and thematic depth. Special attention is given to the classification of metaphor types, such as ontological, conceptual, and dead metaphors. The paper also discusses translation challenges and cross-cultural equivalence in rendering metaphors from English into other languages, particularly Uzbek.
