The wizarding world in the Harry Potter series DOES keep itself under wraps. The wizarding world makes sure that it doesn't let the muggles know about them. I personally believe that JKR implies that the wizarding world would be corrupted by muggle interferance. In the Ministry of Magic there are offices directly dealing with making sure muggles aren't aware of the dealings inside the magic world. (The use of anti-memory charms by Ministry officials is thought of as commonplace by most Wizards and Witches.)

As far as Voldemort being compared to the US Government? C'mon. For all the despot leaders in the World's history, you come up with the US Gov?
I see more NAZIism than Americanism. Pol Pot maybe. Kim Il Jong. But the US?
Nah, that's a whole different set of books my friend.

I've read the books. Very good reads.

It's sort of like, if you know what to look for, the symbology is there and BLAZING at you.

If you don't, well it's still a good, interesting thought provoking novel for the ages.

Personally, I think that JK did a crapload of research when writing these books.

I might even subscribe to the notion that maybe this series of novels are not written by just one person alone.

I think it's a Tavistock creation myself. Just like all other entertainment that becomes MEGA successful overnight.

Who knows...

Rowling takes influence from the world around us, so I'm sure she knew the Illuminati iconography and how it would fit into Harry Potter.

She probably saw the symbol, thought it looked interesting and used it.

I have also noticed the NWO and Anti NWO significance in the HP books. Have you ever noticed that the Muggles of HP are very similar to the Sheeple of the real world. How the the good wizards are fighting the bad wizards. Are similar to all the people who are aware of what is going on. The good wizards such as HP, RW, HG are symbolizing the Anti-NWO Resistance. While the bad wizards are symbolizing the Elitist. The elitist similar to writings of David Icke.

Lightning bolt. Can't forget the lightning bolt. Very important feature in the HP franchise is his lightning-bolt scar...symbolic of the "Mark of the Beast"? Anyway, the lightning bolt is a very powerful image of the illuminati, most-often used when streaking through the eye.

Pretty sure JKR and the production team, just took what ever symbolism they could find, that looked "magic"
Havent read the books, watched a couple of the movies with my kids, didn't see anything that made my eyes pop out!

By the way All Seeing Eye was never illuminati symbol but was and still is freemasons symbol. Few cultures and religions used this symbol as well.

As for the book I think it's great although movie was better.

Peace!!!

Ok, i know this thread is old but i have some observations.

As we know, the books were heavily publicised and hailed as a saviour, getting children into reading, and then the film contract to follow, with ITS heavy promotion. I have read and re-read the books, which i dont consider very well written but the plot ensnares me.

summary

There is an 'evil' that braught destruction, mistrust and darkness over the comminity (Voldemort)
He was vanquished and went into hiding for years, growing stronger with a larger network of people under him.
He later appeared, hidden behind other people(death eaters) but once again spreading fear and death throughout the (magic) community.

Harry and the members of a secret soceity called the order of the phoenix all know that this evil is back, and all know that the corruption is everywhere, namely the ministry of magic. The evil, Lord Voldemort, had people in every service, he had infiltrated the Ministry, and it was doing his bidding, with a front of it being the already exhisting beneficial Ministry. Harry and members of the Order know of this and take measures, to go 'off-grid'. At Hogwarts, one of Voldemorts shills, 'Professor Umbridge' takes over, and slowly twists it to the agenda of those with more power than her. The Ministry begins ruling by decree, which is a well known act of a hemorhagging government.

Obama has coincidentaly just started ordering by decree. If you read the books, you can read much itno what has been happening in the states lately.

Also there is a lot of subliminal symbols, imagery, and messages present in every single one of the movies. It is a very obvious yet effective vehicle to spread the agenda of those in charge of such things as spreading agendas.

I love the Harry Potter series!

Has anyone thought that maybe it is possible that JKR simply researched all these topics? I mean, Dan Brown did it. Why couldn't she?

Voldemort, not to be named.
Buy order of the elite.
How silly is that.
Or how sane and real of the Illuminati to avoid reference to the man
that can mean their downfall in the real world as Tesla could.
