Okay. You believe what you want. I'm not here to argue with your beliefs.

However, when someone claims to be "Left-Wing" it might be a good idea to take note of that.

And, as in the case of Obama, it might also be a good idea to find out who are the most influential people in J.K. Rowling's life. Who does she idolize? Well, take a look:

Excerpt from the book "J.K. Rowling" By William Compson, pg 20-21:

"[...] Rowling became very interested in politics when her aunt gaver her a copy of Jessica Mitford's Daughters and Rebels when she was fourteen years old. J.K.

Mitford was a courageous human rights activist who also had a wonderful sense of humor. She was fiercely independent as well as being a passionate socialist who rebelled against her wealthy family [...]"

Cheers

It looks like you are correct - certainly Jessica Mitford, Rowling’s childhood heroine and alter ego, was a Communist (and a spoilt brat). If you have direct quotations from Rowling on an expanded role for Government that would help.
