Harry Potter for Grown-Ups: Politics Over Magic
Harry Potter is a story about good and evil. But it's also a fully developed world. And few of us noticed that politics plays a significant role. Looking at history from this perspective, it turns out that many interesting events unfold in the wizarding world, unseen. Familiar characters are revealed in new ways. Completely different people emerge as heroes. And then there are the personal dramas, decisions, mistakes, and consequences.
In this episode, I decided to look at the history and politics of the wizarding world as if it were a separate country. And to understand what the Harry Potter books can teach us as we all grow up.
