The epic battle of good vs. evil was fought not at Gringotts or Ministry of Magic, it was fought at Hogwarts. This thought kept racing through my mind as I left the cinema with my muggle friends. Through the rest of the day I kept searching for our brand of Hogwarts. My effort went in vain.
In our world the dark forces seem to be on the victorious side. Our Hogwarts has been disintegrated. All I could find were pieces scattered all over, in form of sprawling campuses and concrete buildings. Some of these parts have turned into Azkaban with dementors on guard. There lies no hope therein. The spirit of hardwork, research and invention has been drained out completely. The soul of these education institutes has been sucked out. Students are divided, teachers bear dark political marks etched in their skins that start glowing whenever the political party needs them, mischief makers akin to Draco Malfoy are incharge of the student activist wings. Future for these young minds is lost. Frustration reins supreme. Pleasure, dreams, energy are long lost ideas.
Then there are other parts which are completely controlled by Death Eaters with their highly discriminating values. These institutes create leaders-leaders from their own breed. There is no place for down market Weasleys among these liberal, well groomed, loyal servants of You-Know-Who. There are covert policies against the tainted Mudblood and only rarely does a brilliant Hermione get in. Several charms are put in place to keep check on their activities, any diversions result in labels such as losers or extremists.
Divide and rule has been the mantra of every evil force. In our world the dark force is smart enough to break the very institution that may give rise to Harry Potter of the muggle world.
<3 it. excellent potrayal of our society. dunno when we'll get our scar-headed hero :(
