 Re: real world connections
Galadriel is just so elven that it transcends any kind of male or female biases, to me. Of course, she is a very strong figure, as well as powerful (Helped bring down the forces of Dol Guldur when Lorien was attacked, after all.) She just doesn't really have a counterpart in HP or the real world because of that etherealness.
As for the real world connections, I still stand by the idea that it is more about culture and a general historical trend than any specific events.
However, as for Grindelwald, I would have to be inclined to say that has definite WWII era allusions. |
