  What's the alternative?
  Should Hogwarts lay down arms to appease Voldemort, save lives in the short-term, but live under tyranny into perpetuity? >
  
  Never realized the similarities between Harry Potter and World War II >
  
  Not even with the “pure bloods” who were obsessed with keeping their bloodlines “clean” and believed their “race” to be superior? >
  
  The ones with the red cuffs ? What's their similarity WW2 ? /s >
  
  the same ones who kept a list of known muggle borns and muggle sympathizers? I really do wonder 🤔 >
  
  A. what do you mean by people are fine with that, they can't change the plot and they were sad that the good guys that died died
  B. if you're trying to draw some gun rights parallel gotcha, the battle of hogwarts wasn't the magic equivalent of a school shooting (at least in the common definition) as the attackers were an outside invading force and there weren't really student instigators >
  
  "...and everyone is fine with that."
  Huh? Who's fine with that? The characters? The reader? >

  you’re not a very nice person >
  
  And you’re bad at making Reddit posts. >
  
  Wait until you realise how many people were on the Death Stars >
  
  There were massive political reforms after the battle to help prevent a repeat... so obviously they weren't okay with it. It's the UK, not the US. >
  
  Harry Potter:  a series of books in which the dreaded and feared super villian is incapable of dominating a high school, much less the world. >
  
  I've said this about every Harry Potter. Harry saves the day from some evil. Then they are back the next movie and it's like nothing happened. They still treat the 3 of them like shit.
