Harry Potter reflecting real life


I just had this crazy theory. It looks like there are a lot of train wrecks lately, especially with female celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, etc. and there are also some pretty bad catastrophes happening like this bridge going down in Minneapolis, and this other bridge collapsing in Northern California.

Now if you remember back in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the first chapter or two had to do with the "other minister." The book actually took you more into the real/muggle world by introducing the Prime Minister of Britain into the story. And in that chapter, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, advised that the war in the magical world was bleeding over to the muggle world. Bridges collapsing, typhoons happening, and heavy fog were all reprecussions of the war going on in the wizarding world. In addition, Death Eaters were putting more and more people under the Imperius Curse, having them do things that they would not normally do.

To tie this back to current news...what if there really was a wizarding world? And what if it was really hidden in plain sight? This is going to sound like a stretch, but what if to Muggles like us, Harry Potter was a best selling book written by JK Rowling about a boy wizard and his journies, but in reality, Harry Potter was more like an almanac or documentary of what is really going on in the world, but hidden in plain sight. What if the bridge collapsing in Norcal and Minnesota were consequences of a battle. And what if there are wizards and witches living among us, that are being hunted by Death Eaters. What if Lindsay Lohan's ex-assistant's mom is a public figure in the wizarding world, but Lindsay is under some kind of Imperius Curse that makes her try to harm this lady? The list can go on and on...

Nuts? Probably.
