Harry Potter Shows Real World Issues
You might not realize it. Actually many kids reading the Harry Potter books don't either. Well, some of them do like me. That's right, if you guessed that the award-winning Potter book series are showing real issues facing our world today, then you are probably right, because of such examples such as the rise and fall of Lord Voldemort, which relates to terrorism, and the Ministry of Magic with its aggressive ministers such as Cornelius Fudge and Rufus Scrimgeour, which also relates on corruption and corrupt governments as well, are reflected and echoed througout the pages of the Potter books as well as the series itself. So that is why I suggest you read the Potter books. It could probably inspire us to fight back.

I agree with you! This was an absolutely brilliant post! For someone who has only skimmed the books, you sure have an excellent grasp of what the books meaning. I see these issues in the books as well. Genius!
By the way, JKR had a live webchat on bloomsbury.com today. 120,000 questions were submitted. 107 were chosen, and answered personally by JK Rowling. Mine was one of them! I'm so excited!
