aussie:
I doubt JKR will use Horry Potter as a platform to speak on
Christian redemption, Politics, nor Homosexual Relationships.
They are too narrow and heated views with devisive appeal to too
limited a target audience.
I am sure she would invite anyone wanting to use popular book series
as a propaganda vehicle to start writing their own series. Just
don't demand a different auther to adopt views important to you.
In canon, JKR has included ghosts, Inferius, the Mirror of Erised,
and portraits with essence of the dead speaking to people. Some
concepts may come from Greek mythology, but she invents a whole new
World. A Wizarding World ... that those that call themselves witches
and worlocks have little to do with. It is part of JKR's
immagination and her reseach from other cultures' mythology.
One platform she may speak on is that of Amnesty International. Her
emphasis on the descrimination from some purebloods is similar to
the prejudice AI tries to overcome in some countries.
IMOO, God is not suprised by any man-made horcruxes or so
called "Unforgiveable" acts. They are not something impossible from
His original design. Whether a soul goes to the post-terrestrial
life all at once or needing to be super-glued together does not
alter His original order of things.
