That was a nice thing to say about her Ex. Awesome Lady!
With all of the money and acolades, it is so gratifying to know that she is “grounded” and above all modest. I would be so easy for someone in similar circumstances to get to full of themselves. The fact that she is still a kind, compassionate, and considerate person makes me admire her even more!
“My model of the world after Voldemort’s return was, directly, the government of Neville Chamberlain in Great Britain during the Second World War, when he tried to minimize the menace of the Nazi regime for political convenience.” Tthe girl knows her history too. If only country leaders and their administration could also take a keen interest in learning lesson from history. Alas.
didnt she say in the past that part of her idea of Voldemort was from Hitler and the Death Eaters were an inspiration from KKK? I could almost swear I have heard that from her more than once. she doesnt say it here but she has said it before.
I think you’d find that both were possibly based on Hitler.
A lot of Voldemort’s policies and actions that he takes through the ministry were very similar to Hiltler’s policies and the actions of the Nazi party
Classy, graceful, and a historian! More than that, modest and forthright! My kind of “hero”...someone not only I and my children, but my children’s children and their children, can really look up to and emulate!
Well said confederate Lady! this series like critics have said for along time now will indeed go up on the classic shelf with LOTR, Wizard of Oz, Narnia, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer and on and on…., I was right in saying that the Death Eaters were inspired by the KKK, if not the 4th movie really hyped that assumuption up by their costumes! And how can she have said that Gellert was inspired by Hitler, I agree with Slayer they both probably were but we dont even read hardly anything about Grindlewald.
well in DH they said that Grindlewald showed remorse in later years ( not saying that what he did in the first place wasn’t terrible and he deserved having to live in his own prison) and Voldemort showed no remorse AT ALL for what he did and from what I’ve heard Hitler didnt show even a teensy little bit of remorse either so I’m guessing that Voldemort was mainly based on Hitler. he’s “purebloods first” and “magic is might” and “prune to keep your family ‘healthy’” resembles Hitlers beliefs
but this is getting so off topic, i love you Jo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur so amazing we all love u =]
Yay, Jo! I so love how she is so considerate about her ex because of her daughter. That Hitler thing is interesting. I’m a writer, myself (no books published yet), and her books are my absolute BEST reference point. I love Jo!
i always thought the HP series and especially Deathly Hallows reflected the gradual Nazi occupation and eventual horrors that followed. The whole atmosphere of Deathly hallows was actually terrifying, reminiscent of reading memoirs of people in hiding during the rise of Nazi and the diary of Anne Frank also spring to mind. JK has of seasoned her wonderful series with a lot of mirroring of real world history, prejudism, politics, religion which makes the books so much richer.
oh, that’s so nice to talk this way about exhusband, she is so great!
