In an interesting article over at the MTV Movies Blog, the folks from Wrock the Vote talked about how Harry Potter and other various characters might vote if given the chance. Here’s how they would vote in California on Prop.8, for instance:
“We are asking people to vote on on propositions that would take away same-sex marriage,” Slack explained. “We talk about the importance of how J.K. Rowling says that Harry Potter is an extended argument in favor of tolerance. When Lupin, a werewolf, was afraid that his marriage to Tonks, a full-blood witch, would be considered unnatural, Professor McGonagall fires back that Dumbledore would have been happier than anyone to see a little more love in the world.” (Dumbledore, himself, as we later learned, was also gay). (For California, that’s a no on Proposition 8. In Florida, no on Question 2. In Arizona, no on Proposition 102).
Going from there, how do you think Harry would vote in the presidential election? How would Hermione, or Ron, or Dumbledore, or Voldemort vote? Let’s talk!
Harry Potter is a tolerant, magical young man who would vote NO on Prop 8!
Equality for all!
I’m not insulting people who say what they think Harry would do, but they do that because of what they would do. sure we have known Harry for a fair bit of his life but we dont kno exactly how he would vote, i mean, he didn’t even know Dumbledore was gay, so we never knew what his reaction may be. so I’m not saying he would or he would not, just saying we may never know.
thanks
