And the winner of the "reading things into Harry Potter that aren't there unrelated to the evils of witchcraft award" is.....

I'm not saying there aren't societal parallels, but that it isn't some sort of "statement" on today's England and what have you.

LOL i totally agree. I was like... where is this guy getting this from... i'm sure if i wrote a story about a flying unicorn and his posse of dancing ponies, translated it to french and someone interpreted it... you could compare it to the bush administration. yes of course that makes total sense.

All that paragraph made me think was, "Hogwarts wasn't a public school."

Oh, listen. Hedwig's Theme is the next on my playlist. I must go now--I can't muster up a dreamy glaze and a goofy smile while I'm typing.

Public school has a different meaning in the U.K. - it doesn't make sense to us, I know, but a public school is actually a private school, like Eton, as opposed to a government school.
