It is amazing to see HP with no advanced training trying to take on the full breadth of the political system at so many levels.
Harry's tribulations with the magical juvenile/adult court system. Hagrid's and Sirus's false imprisonment without a trial.
Dumbledore demoted by his friends and council peers.
The trio's anger with the media and its misrepresentations, misquotes and mismanagement. The magical version of the 'enquire' having the truth and the establishment paper printing lies.
The class distinctions made on something outside of one's direct control.
Lord Voldemort gathering his deat eaters back to say they have the true way - those who oppose it must die or be dimished...uh, familiar, anyone.
A war nobody voted on started by one individual who controls through fear and domination...
Looking forward to your input!
