    So the books early on hype up the idea that Harry Potter will grow up, defeat Voldemort, change the Wizarding world for the better, and fix the corruption in the Ministry of Magic that lead to Voldemort’s Return…

    In the actual ending, Harry grows up to become an Auror, which is basically the Wizarding World’s version of a cop, and they answer directly to… The Ministry of Magic, which hasn’t changed leadership… and is still ran by the people who didn’t want people to know Voldemort existed even whilst literal children were dropping like flies because of his douchebaggery because “That would make us look bad!”

    Imagine if George Washington’s story ended up with him, having just won the Revolutionary War, becoming a soldier in the British Navy instead of becoming US Present… It’s that kind of vibe
