Harry Potter and the rise of Nazi Germany

For Slothy, Bones and anyone else who is interested...

Here is an article that covers a lot of the points I mentioned last night. This was written in 2005 but the 6th and 7th books are loaded with even more similarities. The one that really stuck out for me was the talk of the slogan over the gates of Grindewald's (sp?) prison camps for muggles ("For the greater good" Reminds me of concentration camps "Work will set you free") and they imprisoned him in a place called Nurmengard (sounds strangely like Nuremberg where nazi war criminals were tried). Just a little something to chew on.
