    I can't believe you don't like any of the Godfathers or Bohemian Rhapsody.

    What is WRONG with you, man?!

    Anyone who hates Harry Potter is a heartless beast who cannot appreciate the greatest love story being toldl within another story by itself. I have yet to read a love story better than that of Snape and Lily.

    QFT. I have never cried harder :(

    Potter is a bunch of kids books based in fantasy.

    If you can describe them that way, you can't possibly have read them.

    The entire story is an analogy of WWII. I know Rowling claims she wasn't thinking of Hitler when she created Voldemort, but if you think about it, a lot of the characters take on the roles of the Allied and Axis countries and the whole "pure race" stuff even though Voldemort himself was half muggle (Hitler had Jewish ancestry) tells me she's full of it on that.

    It's a great story. The first two books are a little on the young side for reading, but after that it's pretty dark and deep.

    Maybe you only watched the movies, though. They aren't as detailed and leave a lot of important things out.


    right because it can not be the simple good vs evil, so what hero was in WWII that Harry Potter could have been.

    That is just a little stretch of the imagination. I have read all the books.
    He wasn't a specific person. He was England. As was Dumbledore. It's been a while since my last read, but I had a bunch of them figured out. Draco is Italy. That potions teacher (can't remember his name) who comes in book 6 is the US.

    And of course it COULD be a simple good vs. evil. But it isn't.

    That's what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debt. A debt you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y'all will git me one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis. Or you will die tryin'.

    He stays sort of neutral right up to the end, then comes riding in all heroic at the last minute. Although all the while, he's on Harry's side.

    it really does make sense. it's ambiguous who he's really gonna go to bat for, mostly because he's a wimp and doesn't wanna piss off his house, but he also wants to save his own *kitten* and stay out of trouble... all sounds familiar. I just love that the character whose physical description is often likened to a walrus is the US in the analogy. I love JKR.

    WWII does not boil down to Good vs. Evil. It boiled down to a lot of people with different ideals of what the world should be. Saying the opposite side from that that you're on is evil is somewhat close minded.

    Also, not everything has a deeper meaning. If she said she wasn't thinking of Hitler when that part was thought up, I'd probably take their word on it.

    Knowledge of history is one thing, to try and make a book have more meaning then it really does is really just beyond amuzing in this aspect.

    I think i would like to change the meaning of harry potter to be more star wars. Harry is like Luke, Voldemort is like the Sith Lord and his followers. They are all manipulated by the force.....see i can do it too. Snape is like Darth Vader, shows his true nature in the end (not all that bad of a guy).

    You're right. It's just a difference of opinion to torture, starve and gas 12 million people simply for being the wrong religion, having the wrong political leanings or having the wrong sexual orientation.

    Just a difference of ideals about the world there. How close-minded of me to call it evil.

    did Rowling really state she wasnt thinking about Hitler? then why do these people carry on that theory? maybe they dont believe her after her "Dumbledore is gay" claim after the series was over. if she really wanted to make a statement she should have made it clear he was gay during the series.

    Because the United States hasn't tortured or killed tons of people because they are of a different religion, or world view, or anything, right?

    In your mind, we're right in what we do. In Hitler's mind, he was doing good for his people. It's all objective.

    US did not try to commit genocide. But they have done similiar based on race (japanese and native amaericans) camps. Religion not so much but some Americans have out against some religions but not on behalf of the country (post 9/11 against muslims).
