So if anyone has read the very last Harry Potter book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, hopefully some of you have made the corrolation between Voldemort's plot to take over the wizarding world.......and the Holocaust. Honestly, if you think about it they are almost exactly the same and if you don't agree, here is an obvious analogy to help you realize J.K. Rowling's desperate attempt to create magical works of fiction:
Voldemort is to Hitler as Mud-bloods are to Jews.
Making sense now?
As I have previously mentioned, I believe this book was J.K. Rowling's desperate attempt to go out with a "bang" with the Harry Potter series and that, although it was a great book, $10 says she wrote this at the last minute. Here's how it went down:
"Hmmmm that was a good nap. What time is it? *looks at clock*.......6:00????? Oh no! I'm supposed to have this book submitted by midnight! Whatever shall I do?? Okay, okay calm down. Calm yourself. Let's see what we already have written *looks at paper: 'HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.'.........shit. Okay, okay ummm maybe I should take a historical event and write about that except just use the words "magic", "wand", and "wizard" in every other sentence. Yeah! That's a great idea! Good job, J.K., you've amazed even yourself once again. Hmmm....what's a historical even that no one will recognize if I write about? *gasp* The Holocaust! Perfect!"
Yupp. That's exactly how it went down. But seriously, let's be analytical about this. Lord Voldemort is trying to kill all half- and mud-bloods. Hitler tried to kill all the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and people with mental defects. Voldemort has Death Eaters to go out and capture all the mud-bloods. Hitler had the Green Police go out and arrest the Jews and aformentioned people.
It makes perfect sense. Despite my love for this entire series of books, I must admit that due to this recent realization my respect for the beloved J.K. Rowling has decreased a sizeable amount and only if the movie turns out to be equally as awesome as the book will my respect for her once again be restored to the highest calibur.
