      I haven’t read any of these, but for the ppl who have, is there a specific one in the series that is more liberal than the others?

        I’m trying to remember, I read all of the books when I was 10 or 11 I think. Order of the Phoenix springs to mind, as it’s where we’re fully introduced to the concept of Aurors and the titular Order, basically the FBI of the wizarding world. It’s where Harry figures out he wants to be a deep state wizarding agent lol. The Order exists because of the incompetence of the wizarding bureaucracy, of course, and it’s up to our libertarian heroes to cut through the red tape and mete out true justice.

        It may not be the worst offender but it absolutely sets up a lot of liberal nonsense, although there exists liberal nonsense in every book. I remember it being one of the most “political” in the series, though I can’t recall the actual contents of the books very well outside of the more controversial/obviously shitty moments.
