JK Rowling reveals Voldemort is a nationalist and the Harry Potter books deal with racism

JK Rowling has described wizard villain Lord Voldemort as a ‘nationalist’ and says her Harry Potter books deal with racism.
..
Asked about studies which had found those who read her Potter books had more empathy and tolerance, the 54-year-old replied: ‘Obviously those themes are deeply embedded within the books. Ideas of being different, racism is obviously there in allegorical form, as totalitarianism is there, because Voldemort is obviously an authoritarian. I wouldn’t say he’s a populist, but he’s a kind of nationalist.’
Gotta pander ever since steeping in it by claiming men can’t be women.

When was the last time she published a book?
Never read one or saw the movies.

Yeah she's pretty much a part of the Alt right already in their book

That's not much of a surprise to anyone who's read them.

Exact thought I had. Hell, those themes aren’t exactly subtle in the movies.

Anyone who has read the books already knows this. Voldemort and his motives are allegory to the rise of hitler and Nazi Germany.

Racism and elitism themes are extremely heavy handed throughout the series.
This is news?

How can anyone be mad at this? Voldemort’s whole thing was killing off people that weren’t “pure”

Next she’s gonna tell us Hermione is black.

Racism? Check
Authoritarianism? Check
Totalitarianism? Check
Nationalism? Um, which nation is this supposed to be? Wasn’t it multi-national?
I always thought that Voldemort was more of a globalist.

My take on the books was just the opposite. Voldemort reminded me of Obama and the Dems were his dedicated minions. He was making executive orders with his pen (wand) and his phone in order to fundamentally change and rule this country.
