Which art? The one that's cherry-picked? I read Harry Potter but I haven't seen too many wizards or dragons around lately.

The Handmaid's Tale, a good book, you should read it sometime. Harry Potter is also interesting in that it tells a lot about its author and her world view.

What are you trying to argue anyway?

Yes, I've read it, excellent book.

That "life imitates art" is not a generally true statement.

Are you unaware that Harry Potter is about a Facist takeover of the wizarding world by people who insist on genetic purity and believe that mixed breeds and non-wizards should be wiped out, and done primarily by a nonviolent coup of the governing body of the wizarding world?
