That being said, I don't see anything more political in Harry Potter than a little bit of can't-we-all-get-along propaganda--Democrats have compared the Republicans to Voldemeort, which is BS. Voldemort is a Hitler-type figure that represents what can go wrong when a prejudice becomes an obsession. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I see the worst of both the right AND the left in Harry Potter villains. Maybe J.K. didn't intend it that way, but at least it shows that she can pick up on all flavors of 'evil', even if she *perceives* that it's all on the right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37038499.post-83121449862570519292007-10-28T20:18:00.000-07:002007-10-28T20:18:00.000-07:00The main motiff of the Harry Potter series is "Blo...The main motiff of the Harry Potter series is "Blood Purity".

Not only that, she is a Communist. She even named her daughter after Communist celebrity Jessica Mitford for G-d's sake!<BR/><BR/>I think it's sick that you can show so much support for a Communist traitor. The Communists are the very type of people who believe that rich people should give up some of their wealth just to stop lazy people from starving and that we can live in harmony with the Terrorists!<BR/><BR/>This seems to be pretending to be a pro-American site, but no pro-American site would have these subtle pro-Communist articles. It's one thing to promote books written by Communists, but quite another to recommend people to seek political advice from them under the guise of pro-Americanism. The good people on the right aren't stupid and won't give in to your horrible tricks.<BR/><BR/>Why don't you go blow yourselves up for Alah somewhere in a distance place and leave us Americans alone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37038499.post-26847674915435159772007-08-04T21:07:00.000-07:002007-08-04T21:07:00.000-07:00In this interview, she states her political views ...In this interview, she states her political views as being left wing<BR/><BR/>http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/cookarama/ewinter.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37038499.post-77316182877976416242007-07-23T15:33:00.000-07:002007-07-23T15:33:00.000-07:00While I disagree with most of the points you make....While I disagree with most of the points you make...I have to commend you on your opening. There are way too many people trying to find deeper political meanings in Harry Potter and truthfully I think people are mostly psychotic. <BR/><BR/>Especially if they believe any of the crap that they write is 100% true rather than coincidence or a bent truth. In short, thank you for accepting the fact that Harry Potter might just be a childrens book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37038499.post-79320035652404392362007-07-23T10:13:00.000-07:002007-07-23T10:13:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985305814369923325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37038499.post-71038233996207967422007-07-23T09:59:00.000-07:002007-07-23T09:59:00.000-07:00Nick,I think Jon Swift's explanation makes more se...Nick,<BR/><BR/>I think Jon Swift's explanation makes more sense.
