Dolores Umbridge From Harry Potter Was Based on a Real Person
25th January 2019
J. K. Rowling, having grown up in modern Democratic Socialist Britain, couldn’t conceive of an area of life that wasn’t regulated by the State — so, OBVIOUSLY, there HAD TO BE a ‘Ministry of Magic’. (Which, apparently, pays for a full ride of all the students at Hogwarts.)
And yet Rowling, despite portraying accurately the pernicious effects of such government regulation in the Harry Potter books, remains a dyed-in-the-wool proglodyte.
There is no hope.
