Featured Essay: How Hollywood De-fanged Potter's Radical Politics Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 1

       This essay caught my eye because I feel like it says a lot about the books, the movies, and the meaning of both. It is also not too lengthy. This review focuses on the political messages of the last book, and their presentation in the DH part 1. It is quite critical of the movie, which I must admit was one of my favorite of the series. This essay talks about how the political message was sidelined for a barely existent love triangle plot. I feel like this was not the only important plot that was pushed aside to make room for teen romance that was very unimportant to the overall story. If you feel the same as I do, or are just curious, I highly recommend this essay from Mugglenet.
