Movie and Current Events

I think by now most of you have heard the news that some movies 
slated to be released for the fall season have been postponed to a 
later date ("The Streets of New York") or postponed indefinitely. 
While I don't think Potter will be postponed, I do wonder how it will 
be received in the current political/social climate.

Considering the themes in the Potter books, will Harry's plight 
become a symbol of our times? Will his popularity increase because 
more adults and children can now identify with him? Will Harry be 
used by people wanting to make sense of our current events?
