The Harry Potter books uncritically present a pretty bleak and brutal class society where whichever house you got into at your public school determines not just your prospects in later life but the quality of your very soul. Also there are indentured servants who really love being slaves and the banks are run by literal antisemitic caricatures.

this is the reality that liberals want

Dumbledore was also a terrible person. He used people like pawns on a chessboard, manipulated them to die for him. He'S basically a fantasy version of George Smiley.

The Harry Potter series is basically a long form apologia for the excesses taken by elites in the wake of 9/11. Dumbledore is essentially running a one man GWOwizardingT from his office, has a bowl full of people's memories that looks like cum, and is a transparent facsimile for the deep state intelligence apparatus.

they're hella hosed Up but they're also books about how authority figures are fuckin morons who will fall under the sway of Wizard Nazis because its easier to stick your head in the sand than admit there's a problem and sometimes its actually cool and good to buck the system

LOl@you for not knowing that the plan for 9/11 was discussed at Yalta and Harry Potter was one of the LATER propaganda tracts in a line that included cultural touchstones like The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, Laugh In, and Cop Rock.

"Harry, drink this cum so you can remember your dad" were Roosevelt's lasts words to Truman
