Harry Potter as a political commentary: a discussion with dad. :)

So, the other day I had an interesting discussion with my father about Harry Potter being a political commentary, in the spirit of Gulliver's Travels.  Very interesting conversation....and a realization that, if reached by those in power, would likely cause the elimination of it's support from those with the purse strings. 

I've also been watching Babylon 5 and am really enjoying the whole Jungian aspect of the story with the "Vorlons" and "Shadows". Bravo to the writers....which I understand to primarily be Straczynski, himself.  :)
