Do you mean Grindelwald is meant to be Hitler? Hadn't crossed my mind, to be honest. Does that make me really stupid? Um. Do you mean Grindelwald is meant to be Hitler?

How rubbish of me.<br/><br/>The Grindelwald thing isn't the wee kiddies being confused, but me. Seemed a reasonable thing to assume that if she was consciously evoking a particular historical figure, she wouldn't then turn them into a fictional figure who could have fictional things happening to them. Does that not make sense? Yes, there's technically no reason why she couldn't reveal that Jack Straw was Minister of Magic all along, but it would be quite unexpected...

Dearie me. <br/><br/>Thinking about your Dumbledore, have to agree with you there. Not much point having it all clear in her own mind that he was gay and then him being so far in the closet that there is nothing in the text to point to it, and no suggestion of any action apart from a rather intense adolescent relationship with an obvious psycho 50 years ago. <br/><br/>Somehow that's more annoying than just ignoring the issue altogether. ('I did think about it, but just decided not to tell anyone.' ?)<br/><br/>I wouldn't like to be gay in Potterworld. Even the werewolves have more fun.<br/><br/>Didn't understand the bit about muggle history though. Do you mean just that because they're really young they think Grindelwald is just 'history' (a bit like Duran Duran) and are a bit shocked when he turns out to have been an actual person? Just like we'd be a bit shocked if Jack Straw turned out to actually have been Minister of Magic all along, or something. Rio? Where was this? It definitely wasn’t really 1993, that’s for sure!
