That's what the Ministry of Magic wants. It is astonishingly crystal clear to anyone with even the slightest familiarity with The Order of the Phoenix that this makes the Ministry the enemy.
One could say with equal accuracy that Tom Sawyer supports slavery.
She need to write One more Harry Potter book to tie things up—We need to know what happens to him and his Marriage to Ginny, and what happens to Hogwarts —Too many loose ends with the last book. Many of Voldamorts followers got away. Afew characters grew in the story—Like Durley, what happened to him? After that she needs to go in a different direction—maybe a new world—a Victorian or Steam Punk world as unique as the Wizarding World. Something like Sherlock Holmes Character? Her stories with all their images—are really mysteries.
My favorite book of the series. Practically a manual on how to overthrow a corrupt leadership.
Hmmmm. Steam Punk Rowling. That could work. Her writing skills have improved enough to totally pull it off. Something other than yet another Sherlock Holmes clone, though.
7 kids. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny.
Yes, something more than another Holmes—Something unique, very British-—a new character who uses Steam Punk world.
I’m with stars and stripes. . .young people are impressionable and considering the positive role models (NOT) they have today. . . . why clutter their minds with this.
Why trouble yourself spending an inordinate amount of time with this occult stuff. . .the whole series????
This might be an interesting read for you. http://www.crossroad.to/ask-peter/hp-overview-1.htm
A bit of Harry Flashman might work.
Harry Potter never struck me as Occultic, and most FReepers know how prudish I am. If you want to find a book that does strange things to a young person’s mind see Piers Anthony books about Xanth. THOSE books are bad for you.
There is nothing original about the Potter books IMO, they were just very readable
“Millions of children have been indoctrinated into the occult. Parents, schools, and libraries have encouraged children to aspire to become witches.”
So, Disney makes everyone fairy princesses or believe in talking wildlife?
Well, I did know a guy who took acid before watching Fantasia.
Whoa! Bad trip there doooooood!
“From what I hear, the theme is do what the government tells you, and never think for yourself.”
It’s actually the complete opposite. In fact, The Order of the Phoenix could easily be seen as the TEA party. There is also the Holocaust analogy. I teach this series from a very conservative standpoint, and it’s not difficult to do.

As a conservative, I wish real gays were more like Dumbledore. He never came out of the closet, he never forced others to tolerate and accept something they didn’t want to, and his interaction with children was solely to teach and inspire without any homosexual indoctrination.
I used to think it that way, until I failed to see any difference between HP and Andersen’s fairy stories. If anything, Harry Potter story—unlike most stories today, both children and adult fictions and nonfiction, taught children the existence of evil personafied in Voldermort.
“The big revelation of the night came when she was asked if Dumbledore had ever found love. With a sigh, she seemed on the verge of saying no, but then revealed, “my truthful answer to you... I always thought of Dumbledore as gay.” After a collective gasp, the audience roared with applause. Rowling was clearly astonished by the positive reaction and exclaimed, “if I’d known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!”

I’ve never denied Rowling said this. Was this meant for somebody else?
I thought the books serve the purpose: yes, the prophecies are out there, but it was Voldermort’s choice that made Harry the one with his obsession toward the Potters.
As a conservative I note that the author characterizes her character as "gay", that is "happy", "joyful", and not as a homosexual, pederast, poofter, fudgebacker, queer. And as a conservative I ask just where and how and with whom does this character practice this, uh, "joyfulness".
Oh, and the meaning of author's statement is that if she had known (how happy the readers were at the faggot's gaiety) she would have pulled him out of the closet earlier.
