Politics of Harry Potter[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it has recently been accused of bias, and since it falls under WP:BLP, I felt it should be addressed by the wider community.

I will take a closer look at it over the week, but at a quick read-through I will venture this. It seems to me that there is a general failure to distinguish between 'the politics of harry potter' and 'harry potter in politics'. you should have a clearly delimited section that talks about what political metaphors and references Rowland did (and didn't) build into her story lines. you can then have a separate section that talks about the interpretations that various political actors have made of it. this should clear up any implication of bias, since none of the third-party interpretations will be confused with Rowland's own acts. --Ludwigs2 (talk) 02:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
