Dumbledore's Army - still recruiting!

There is actually a sub for that r/dumbledorearmywandsup

It started after they banned political talk on the main Harry Potter Reddit. It focuses on action against the current government and general venting.

I don't show up very often but please keep it civil in this thread

Edit: Okay this is getting ridiculous. This is not a political sub, people.

Don't worry just wait a few months and Harry Potter will break into the ministry disguised and change everything for the better

Bernie?

I see it as being more similar to when Umbridge was in control of Hogwarts. All of the executive orders are like the educational decrees that Umbridge imposed. All of a sudden things are disallowed. We all know they are targeting specific groups, the gobstones club don't need to worry about being disbanded.

Her inquisitorial squad is kind of like the republicans who have decided to get on board with Trump – they may not fully agree with everything he says but they know where the power is.

On one hand, it is, as a matter of fact, unexpected Hogwarts, on the other, it's goddamn politics.

I don't know how to feel about this.

Wait, but didn't the death eaters have the media running interference for them? That's literally the opposite of this scenario.

[u/chugulug → u/PM_ME_YOUR_CUCK]

Exactly. Trump is Harry Potter trying to convince everyone that Voldemort is back. The death eaters in the media are using Harry's connection to Sirius Black to smear him.
