Politicians and Harry Potter?

I have to start with Dick Cheney and Tom Riddle :D

The person uhh i mean character that I hate the most in the book series is Bellatrix. She killed my favorite character. I hate hate hate her in the fictional sense of course Soo i will compare her to anyone cruel.

Ann Coulter?

hmm, that might work ;)

Bush = Lord Voldemort?

I actually don’t think Bush is evil per se, though, just not all hearts and flowers and brains.

augustlan, lord voldemort = tom riddle

oh, I’m sketchy on the details.

no problem :)

Bush = Gilderoy Lockhart after he casts the confundus spell on himself?

Bush = either Crabbe or Goyle. From Wikipedia:
...“both brawn-over-brains type; they are entirely lacking in introspection or inquisitiveness. They seem unable to make up their own minds or to see things their own way; they generally act upon Malfoy’s instructions. Nonetheless, Crabbe is depicted as slightly more intelligent than Goyle; ”

@Gail would that make Karl Rove Malfoy?

What about Dick Cheney = Snape? Maybe Gerald Ford = Neville Longbottom? Bush is also a lot like Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail. Nancy Pelosi = Professor Trelawney, Condelezza Rice = Professor McGonagal

I would have reversed Nancy Pelosi and Condi (whom I am not a fan of).

@SuperM: Wormtail is too smarmy and self-ingratiating. Bush has some very odd arrogance.

Too much for my overworked brain. Someone in the present admin. has to be Lord V., manipulating and pulling strings. Rove, perhaps. Certainly Rowling did some scary satire on the rise of Fascism, among other things.

And I have a long way to go on book 7, so I don’t know how things turn out.
