It sheds light on the role of the Ministry of Magic in the novel and its relation to the governments’ policies to misguide the public about the terrorist threats to world powers, prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This study is a political reading of Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. For instance, the American and British readers have been unable to resist identification with the events which mirror the international campaign on terrorism.
It is possible to draw political parallels with contemporary issues. Still, the texts are still open for other readings. The critics and readers found connections between the events of the early parts of the novel and the historical havoc in world politics, like Hitler and World War II, a thing which Rowling attested in many of her interviews. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and many other fantasies, Rowling’s Harry Potter is rich with allegorical implications that reflect the political anxiety of the era in which it was written.
